Farelavita includes the same protagonist from the director’s previous feature: Antonello, a Neapolitan, who makes a living as a transvestite on the streets of Turim under the name Rosatigre. His “partner at work” is Wanda, a kind of female alter ego. Together, they brave the dangers of the night and exchange secrets. She might have been a teacher, but she preferred the streets, invariably in the hopes of finding her true love there. Rosatigre, in turn, dreams of becoming a singer. With them, it is possible to get to know some of the types of “men” and a little of the colorful life of underground Turim. Once again, the director invests in the existential choices of men and women and in all of a universe of prospects that are open as from these.
