'Orecchie' in Italian means 'ears' and in fact the movie begins with a man who wakes up with an annoying ringing sound in his ears.
A note on the fridge says: "Your friend Luigi has died. P.S. I took the car".
The problem is that he does not even remember who this guy Luigi is.
This is just the beginning of a tragicomic day during which he will be plunged into the folly of the world.
'Orecchie', which will screen at Cinema Nova, in Lygon Street Carlton (Melbourne) was written and directed by Palermo, Italy-born Alessandro Arconadio and shot in black and white on a "super-low budget".
