Plot

The old man (Jack Taylor) and his lolita (Narges Rashidi) are lovers. They have decided to end it all by a dramatic "shoot-out" finale this very day. As they know one of them will definitely die before the day is over, they decide to have a wild ride through the last day of their lives. They rob banks, fight the Nazis, do drugs, laugh and dance, kiss, feed the poor, and finally have sex for the last time before starting up the ritual to shoot each other to death. However, as each one holds the revolver against the other, neither one knows if the other's revolver is loaded, but the ritual has to go on.

Trentino Tyrolean Autonomist Party

The Trentino Tyrolean Autonomist Party (Italian: Partito Autonomista Trentino Tirolese, PATT) is a regionalist,autonomist, and Christian democraticpolitical party in Trentino, Italy. The PATT is the unofficial counterpart of the South Tyrolean People's Party (SVP) in Trentino and the two parties contested together several general and European elections.

Franco Panizza is the party's current secretary, while Walter Kaswalder its long-time president. Ugo Rossi, a former leader of the party, has served as the President of Trentino since 2013. Panizza and Rossi represent the party's centrist wing, which strongly supports the alliance with the Democratic Party and the Union for Trentino (coalition partners of the PATT since 2002), while Kaswalder holds a more conservative (and traditional) position, that resonates well with the party's grassroots.

History

Background

The party was founded on 25 July 1948 as the Trentino Tyrolean People's Party (PPTT).
