What Is Io tigro, tu tigri, egli tigra About?
The premise of Io tigro, tu tigri, egli tigra without spoilers.
Three absurd Italian vignettes. In the first, odd‑job worker Elia is hired as a waiter and unwittingly becomes entangled in a scheme to eliminate his mistress—in more ways than one. The second follows Della, convinced that aliens will devour Earth, who ends up as a guinea‑pig passenger on a Phobos‑origin spacecraft. The third sees Roberto enlist as a Bersaglieri, only to nearly spark a war between Italy and Switzerland over a single packet of cigarettes.
