Marcello Fonte gives a strong performance portraying "Marcello," a man resembling a marmoset who has worked hard to build up his dog grooming business. To make ends meet, he’s involved in selling cocaine and works with “Simone” (Eduardo Pesce), a character defined by selfishness, instability, brutality, and ruthlessness. The story takes a turn when Marcello's associate frequently loses control and finds himself needing a significant amount of money. This leads to a robbery that results in the dependable dog groomer being sent to prison for twelve months. After his release, Marcello believes Simone should be thankful, or at least provide €10,000 as compensation. When he’s ignored, he decides to use his intelligence to plan an unusual form of retribution. The film provides a sad depiction of a community where people are encouraged to avoid drawing attention to themselves. No one in this town is willing to stand up to “Simone”; the police seem careless and ineffective, and the pervasive atmosphere of fear is effectively conveyed through the cinematography and the appearance of their rundown neighborhood. I felt the script cleverly allows much of the story's impact to come from what’s shown visually; while it does highlight one man's anxiety and another's lack of concern, the dialogue isn’t essential for understanding events. It's also a film exploring loyalty, and how easily or wrongly that can shift depending on circumstances—whether positive or negative. The movie suggests caution is warranted, as some of the dogs are not ones you want to provoke; it serves as a warning about the risks of challenging those in power or underestimating the strength of revenge.
