Plot

Two likeable scoundrels accidentally steal the precious relic of Sant’Antonio. Realizing its value, they decide to ransom it… directly to His Holiness.

Review

Bentivoglio and Albanese are perfect in the role of gentle and melancholy vagrants in the Venetian nights. A sweet and sour comedy about hunger, failure, wandering, flying witches, friendship, and saints.
