The jazz is permeated, the wine glass spins, and the bullets fly horizontally. A man refuses to live a life defined by others, and he wants to create his own rules and mark the world with his own mark. When he left home, he was a soldier; when he returned, he became an outsider.

In fact, I think he is the Viscount in Calvino's works that was bombarded in half, half saint and half evil.

After watching the film for a minute, I feel bad and I should fall asleep, but there are some small details in the back of the movie, so I didn't fall asleep, and I was full of intentions.
