His Days Are Numbered
His Days Are Numbered, also titled Numbered Days, is a 1962 Italian drama film directed by Elio Petri.
Plot
While riding on a tram, Cesare, a 53-year-old plumber and widower, witnesses a passenger's sudden death from a heart attack. He realises his own mortality and decides to stop working, instead trying to make as much of his remaining time as possible. In a loosely connected series of scenes, he visits places he hasn't been to before like an airport or an art exhibition, goes to see his former girlfriend Giulia and other workers at their job, or watches residents of a housing area protesting intolerable sanitary conditions.
