A man wakes up with ringing in his ears and finds a note on the refrigerator telling him his friend Luigi has died. The man has no idea who Luigi is, and as the day goes on without getting any better, the ringing in is ears does not go away. A deadpan comedy from Italy that plays like a bad dream that you wake up to, and then can't wake up from, because you're no longer asleep. The part with the card-eating ATM could happen to anybody, I suppose. The part where a doctor tells the man that the reason he's got tinnitus is because he's a hermaphrodite and he's pregnant is, well, yeah, more bizarre. Keep an eye on the aspect ratio, if you watch this on a screen that allows for that.
