What The Fifth Wheel Is About
Ernesto grew up on the working-class edge of Rome and spends his life moving other people's furniture. The film carries him through the 1970s and the 1980s while Italy's loudest decades happen somewhere just off screen; he never quite enters history, he passes alongside it. The Italian title comes from an idiom for the least important person in any group, the last wheel on the cart, and Giovanni Veronesi treats that description as a life rather than an insult. Elio Germano plays a man who never once tries to be the hero, and was never asked to be.
