Don’t Cry, You Jerk!

<P>Andrea Morini is terrified of being a father, as much as he would love to be a mother. He is physically attracted to the female body, especially that of a pregnant woman. The very scent of a stretch mark cream arouses a whole erotic universe in him. Yet, at the same time, he wishes he, too, could carry a baby in his womb and bring forth life. This seemingly irreconcilable contradiction will lead him, among other things, to commute between Genoa and Milan, to live on a chair, to befriend a slovenly old actor, to kidnap a kid, and most importantly to love Lena, who is pregnant with another man’s child.</P>
