Paperback Writer
Antoine is a writer who fails to develop his last tale. To rediscover his concentration he moves to a little town in Tuscany, Loro Ciuffenna, where he meets Michele, a painter who lives there.
Soon, a strong friendship grows up between the two artists. It seems that Antoine’s creative block will never fade even when the publisher Mara Galiani invites him to develop the drafts that he sent to her . The writer cannot get out from this mess that is going on since a lot of days.
Suddenly, a strange man with a hat appears and begins to stare to him. He appears everywhere even in Antoine’s house and scaring him. Who is he? What does he wants from Antoine?
A small tribute to The Beatles.
