“The oddity in the blue crayfish” is a comedy as freakish as Edo, a young boy who is losing his hair. He feels reassured by his pet that has a genetic defect: it’s a crayfish and it’s blue. Edo finds out his boyfriend, Federico, comes back to Italy after his year abroad. His mum Alessandra and his best friend Luigi convince him to start a cure by drops. Something’s wrong and drops have side, horrific effects. Situation is out of control but the boy’s hair grows back in time. Maybe Federico’s feelings have changed, too. It takes Edo to do something shattering buti it is his blue crayfish who makes him realize that transformation is inevitable
