An Italian drama; A story about five young 'bullocks', callow at crucial points in their lives, dreaming of success as they drift lazily through life in a small coastal village. This is a character study about a womanizer, a fame-craver, a dreamer, a big-city lover, and an aspiring writer. It is an intelligent film with a message about provincial life from acute observation not just entertainment, providing authenticity about the gap between the characters' hopes and the reality they face. While it lacks unity in narrative, simultaneously it manages to be artful in form and evocative about real life. The performances are all good and it has a memorable musical score.
