Sassywood is a parody of Matera, a small town in southern Italy, that seems destined only to accommodate biblical movie sets. It is also a bitter reflection on the death of poetry and the ignorance of the ruling class and politics. The story ends with an apocalyptic ending that summarizes the economic crisis of the territory in which the story is set, and maybe of our entire country.
