Patricia, an American self-anointed revolutionary and theater director sets out to dismantle patriarchal storytelling. With her long-suffering pugliese collaborator Bapovero in tow, she deconstructs The Sound of Music to make it pass the Bechdel Test. But when their waitress presents two meticulously described entrées - a cow named Carolina and a sheep named Peggy, both female, both eulogized like fallen heroines - Patricia balks: “I don't eat women”. She demands to eat a male instead: a piccione (pigeon) unaware that, in Pugliese dialect, the word comes loaded with unintended anatomical meaning, not precisely male.
