The Great Spirit

In a neighbourhood on the outskirts of Taranto, during a robbery, one of the three accomplices, Tonino aka Barboncino, a shabby-looking fifty-year old, takes advantage of the other two men’s distraction, grabs the whole loot, and runs off. Tonino, runs from rooftop to rooftop until he reaches the uppermost terrace, beyond which there is a precipice that forces him to take refuge in an old washhouse. Someone surprisingly helps him hide successfully. This strange individual wears a bird’s feather behind his ear: he says he’s called Black Deer and belongs to the Sioux tribe.
