Tino is a thirty-year old punk fire-eater and cow­hand, with an anarchist's opposition to the way things are. Almost toothless, scarred, tattooed and mohawked, he looks tike and appears to be, every mothers nightmare and the film in part bolsters that image. But it also looks under Tino's mask at a gentler more human and humane being—at Tino the artist, the adolescent, the carer, the clown, with a surprising vulnerability.
