Bang!

Enrico and Francesco, two very different friends, meet in a sunny and lovely place, sipping fresh drinks under a gazebo. The main reason for their meeting is the growing obsession that lately is concerning several families in the city, related to a dangerous group of hitters and foreign clowns, who suddenly arrive with a white van, ruthlessly pouncing on Italian children and kidnapping them for organ traffic.

This is what Francesco, full of emotion, tries to explain to his friend Enrico, who listens carefully to all that his friend has to say about what he saw and then expresses out loud his mean ideas; Enrico decides to go the very same afternoon on the place his friend told him.

Here is where the two friends find the two foreign clowns that Francesco mentioned in the morning. They start following them without being seen, with the idea of making their own justice, after damaging the van.

Even though they have two different characters, in that moment Enrico e Francesco load the bullet of their aggressiveness against the refused and little-known world of immigrants, both agreeing to a sinister mechanism: the easy movement of Enrico's single open hand, mimicking a gun, pointing it to the back of the two walking Romanian clowns, that are walking on a dusty and unknown path.
