After the death of his mother, Richie Bravo is leaving his Italian home and returning to his teenage bedroom in Lower Austria, where Charlton Heston is still showing off his biceps and Vinetu is still alive. With bottles of rakia in their hands and rich “wurlitzer” melodies in the air, he and his “piccolo fratello” (little brother) said goodbye to their parents’ house.
