A wandering father and son encounter a talking crow who guides them through a surreal journey across the Italian countryside, exploring themes of class struggle, religion, and ideology. Along the way, they meet eccentric characters and confront absurd social contradictions through poetic satire and political allegory. This whimsical yet biting fable blends comedy and critique in a reflection on humanity’s search for meaning.
