Zu freilaufende interpretation of the character, here renamed Franco Scattoni (Massimo Bonetti), the film-highlights " the ups and downs of a rough-and-violent man, whose behavior borders on madness and is worsened by epilepsy. Der Wolf feels he has nothing to loose. Tauchen headfirst into a life of crime, he ends up killing gas station attendant in Perugia in 2002.
