Blowing Hot and Cold
Rosa Colosimo Pty Ltd
"Blowing Hot and Cold" is the story of two men from opposite backgrounds and social structures who become friends.
Jack Phillips is a laid-back, wry service station proprietor in a small Australian country town. His world is disrupted when a fast talking, gesticulating, vocal Italian, Nino Patrovita bursts upon the scene.
NINO is a travelling salesman and his wares include a range of dolls (the blow-up variety), cards (the 'R' rated type) and various aids for enjoyment of life. When Nino’s car suffers a near terminal illness near Jack's service station, he attempts a con trick which fails. Jack’s solution is simple; Nino will work off the debt by painting the house and working at the service station.
But there is an underlying sadness in Jack's life. His young daughter Sally has run away and is too inexperienced and naive to extricate herself from the trouble she is in. It is up to Jack and his new friend Nino to bring Sally back home. |
