CGiii Comment

Hugely original and thoroughly unpleasant.

Who would've thought...a gay man and taxidermy, together - genius.

Gruesome stuff.

The(ir) Blurb...

Peppino is an aging taxidermist constantly ridiculed for being short and somewhat creepy. He meets Valerio, a handsome young man fascinated by Peppino's work. Peppino, in turn, becomes entranced by Valerio and offers him a large salary to come work as his assistant. But when Valerio meets Deborah, their fledgling romance is threatened by an insanely jealous third wheel.
