I ragazzi di Torino sognano Tokyo and vanno a Berlino (Turin youths dream of Tokyo and go to Berlin)

(Italy 1985, 85’, 35mm, col.)

Two youths, Vincenzo and Luciano, return to Turin after watching the successful performance in Rome of a Japanese band, with the firm intention of setting up a concert, calling it "electronic water-ice" and performing themselves as dancers too. Trying to involve old friends, they both contact Laura, to take care of the music, Viviana for the scenery and young Colbi for the poetic texts.
