A blithe young man is happily strolling down Via Nazionale in Rome, while in superimposition there are solemn images of the Vietnam War, the Cultural Revolution and the death of Che Guevara, of which he remains blissfully ignorant and unaware. Not even conscious of the call from God, he receives the reprimand as of the Barren Fig Tree. Asian premiere of the restored version, screening with Pigsty.
