Complete Record: The Italian made animated allegory illustrates the consequences of a single inconsiderate act. A man throws rubbish over the fence into his neighbor's yard; the rubbish is proptly thrown back. Retaliatory exchanges continue with increasing amounts of damage until house & yard are demolished. A flashback to the original scene presents a delightful alternative: instead of rubbish, a flower is thrown over the fence.
