THE CHEERFUL WIDOWER
written and directed by CARLO BUCCIROSSO
with Gino Monteleone, Elvira Zingone, Donatella de Felice and other actors to be defined and with Davide Marotta
Three years after the end of the pandemic, Cosimo Cannavacciuolo, a hypochondriac widower, permanently suffering from anxieties and fears, tenant of the third floor of an ancient building located in the center of Naples, having lost his beloved wife to the virus, finds himself fighting the loneliness and hardship due to the failure of his antiques business, which forced him to fill his house with unsold goods from his shop, and to have to fight against the looming shadow of the mortgage bank which, due to repeated missed payments, threatens the expropriation and confiscation of his apartment… Cosimo’s life would have been much emptier and monotonous without the presence of Salvatore, the bizarre caretaker of the building, and his two children Ninuccio and Angelina, the former constantly in league with him, and the second devoted to marriage and cleaning her apartment. And it is also to deal with the economic difficulties of the moment that Cosimo has granted the use of a room in the apartment to Virginia, a young transformer in cinema and theater who brings him a breath of light-heartedness that doesn’t hurt… But the real anguish of the widowed antiques dealer is represented by the Tomacelli spouses, neighbors, custodians of a dramatic secret that for months has contributed to making her daily and strenuous fight for survival even more complex! Will the tenant on the third floor be able to get out of the abyss into which he has fallen for three years now? You will only find out by coming to the theater… Carlo Buccirosso
