"Armando" (Andrea Sartoretti) is your average looking lad but when he gets out of bed of a morning it takes an almost Herculean effort. He has his own set of scales and they tell him he is 120kg - he doesn't look half of that! He goes to work as the lift-boy in the local hotel and is soon causing concern from his friend as he leaves indentations in the floor! He breaks chairs. Clearly it's not his actual size that's…

"Armando" (Andrea Sartoretti) is your average looking lad but when he gets out of bed of a morning it takes an almost Herculean effort. He has his own set of scales and they tell him he is 120kg - he doesn't look half of that! He goes to work as the lift-boy in the local hotel and is soon causing concern from his friend as he leaves indentations in the floor! He breaks chairs. Clearly it's not his actual size that's causing the problem, so what is? Well the answer might lie with "Daria" (Marina Limosani) whom he regularly bumps into as he scooters to work in the morning, but whom he thinks already has a boyfriend. Might it just be his heart that is so heavy? Sartoretti plays the lovelorn character quite engagingly here and as the story progresses, the lightly comedic scenarios do raise a smile or two as we readily appreciate that there is weight and then there is weight. One of the body and one of the soul. Might "Armando" manage to solve his problem, though? Perhaps she even shares his predicament? Watch and see, this is quite good fun.
