Drammi medicali
Drammi Medicali, the latest effort by Maccio Capatonda, brings to the screen buckets of surreal irony launched by a medical team of an Italian hospital. Led by the head doctor, Dr. Giolsot, a squad of doctors and paramedics, miserable great men and great miserable women of science, fight to save the lives of patients, even at the cost of their own lives... of the patients (obviously). A great television opera, with the unpleasant participation of Julio Hammurabi, aka Elio.
