Co-written and directed by Eriprando Visconti that takes place during the first world war with dwarf, Marcello Giammarco (Jimmy Briscoe) expensive villa/ manor used as hospital. And upon him going downstairs he then purchases a luger from his "supposedly" trusted friend, Cesare (Antonio Marsina) he claims he got it from one of the German soldiers before visits a brothel to visit a single person. It is there Marcello then builds a rapport with one of it's clients, Maria (Nathalie Nell) who is obviously after his money we find out it is to please her love interest, Cesare who helped repair his car for him. After he brings her some sweets other ladies eventually show up, he then becomes uncomfortable and leaves. And down the line, as soon as his father unfortunately is killed, Marcello then becomes the number one target for everyone to go after the money he was left to him by his wealthy father.

I thought it was going to be subtitled but it turned out to be dubbed. It is only worth watching for it's supposed controversy even though I did not see anything offensive from the 1:33 minute version I saw as opposed to the intended running time of 1:39 minutes it says on here.

A tale of WW1, Italy, dwarves, prostitution, exploitation, desperation and betrayal.

Its strangeness comes from its melancholic nature. Everyone is sad, lonely, disabled with no hopes or aspirations. Even the ending a barely a happy one.

I gather that there is a longer 99 minute uncensored version but I saw the censored 93 minute cut that had nothing that wasn't in keeping with the story and subject matter.

Possibly worth a watch.
