The title of the movie says that someone "bought" the Moon. However, in the actual movie, that character describes how he gained the ownership of the Moon by using it over a long period of time without anybody else objecting to it - this is known as "usucaption". Usucaption is a distinct way of gaining ownership over things that is in many ways the exact opposite of buying/purchase. Purchase is a contract in which one party transfers ownership over a thing to another party in exchange for money. This would imply that the Moon had a previous owner who voluntarily gave it away in exchange for money, which never happens in the actual movie.

I did not understand this movie. Slow. Nothing happens. Just drags on and on

The thing that attracted me to the movie was that it stars Lazar Ristovski from Serbia and I am Serbian, while the movie is Italian. So, I figured, why not see it.

There was a funny scene when someone was driving a small truck and then there was a donkey, and the person inside the truck kept on blowing the horn for the donkey to move... And the truck and the donkey both just stood there, in place, and there was nothing or no one for miles around. The driver could have easily gone around the donkey.

This could also be a parody of Sardinian men.

Nothing happens in this movie. If there is a plot, it just drags on and on.

It's been a while since I have seen such a long, boring movie.

Maybe I did not understand the point. Could be.

I gave up after half of the movie.
