‘A well known painter in Italy, Baruchello’s films go in for symbolic imagery as in Perforce, where a man puts dolls into loaves of bread to make sandwiches, he puts the sandwiches into sacks, the sacks are carried away by children and then thrown into the water, and a nude negro boy floats up from the water like a sack.’ – Stephen Dwoskin , FILM IS.
It is loosely described as a fairy tale shot off the television.
