About Mr. B.

We are in 1994, a crucial year for Italian politics: on May 10 of that year Silvio Berlusconi launches his first government, in a context of imminent economic crisis of which small Italian entrepreneurs, such as the Kellermanns, are deeply concerned.

Here we witness a dialogue between Michele, Emmanuel's elder brother, and some of his friends, typical exponents of the middle-upper bourgeoisie of Turin: the judgments they express on behalf of the "Knight" oscillate between doubts and hopes.

Meanwhile, Emmanuel sits like a fish out of water in a conversation that doesn't concern him, until someone brings him into the conversation, embarrassing him greatly.

The narrative voice is the image of Emmanuel reflected in the mirror.
