      Gitano Sabatoni: Ohhh... you stopped wanting. Ahhh, not needing.

      Gennaro: What's the difference?

      Gitano Sabatoni: Hey, it's all the difference in the world. Your belly needs. Your heart wants. That's the difference.

    Want "Gennaro" Want
    You never get tiered from watching this movie.

    first this movie succeeds to touch your heart and make it wonder with the little boy Gennaro "Jerry Barone" He did his part very well, with his pure wondering face and great acting managed to make this movie one of the best drama screen ever.

    The story carry a pain of a widow wife, mistakes of an ill old man and a hope of a little child.

    Manage to present the different classes among people 'How can this people have money while we are poor, and how can they celebrate while my grandpa. is sick' Genaro said this movie rates 9/10
