Reseña del editor:
Three stories, three portraits of young men learning the realities of adult life. 'Boxing' takes us into the world of gyms, a world of bodies, of nerves stretched to the limit, of sacrifice and challenge. Two young men confront each other in the fight of their lives. One of them is well-to-do, a model student whose skills have never been put to the test. The other, although poor and deaf, is stubborn and determined . Now they face the ultimate test, the encounter on which not only their present, but their future depends. 'Horses' takes into the wide open spaces of the countryside. Here, two brothers, both given horses by their father, confront each other sensing that two different destinies are opening up for them. 'The Monkey' is about the fragility of identity, the desire to escape it and disappear. When Nico discovers that his boyhood friend Pietro has made the sudden, shocking decision to become a monkey, he is led to question the basis on which he has lived his own life. In Fists, Pietro Grossi has written three epics of the everyday, in which his characters, bound together by fate, struggle to find a meaning in human existence.
