Ovaj simpatični film me je podsjetio na neko davno vrijeme kada sam se intezivno druzio sa tada najboljim prijateljem i ljubavnikom. Jednom je otišao na neki seminar u Dubrovnik i nekoliko dana nakon što se vratio mi kaže da se skinem. Uzeo čovjek lupu i gleda me dolje. Nakon nekoliko minuta mi kaže da sam od njega dobio vaške. Ja uzeo lupu pa gledam i kada sam vidio da se nešto miče samo što se nisam onesvjestio.
Nisam htio da govorim sa njim danima zbog toga. Priznao mi je da je bio sa nekom koleginicom na seminaru i da je vjerovatno to dobio od nje.
Ušasnog li iskustva i kada god se sjetim tih dana počešem se. Inače lako se to istrijebi ali moram priznati da izaziva onaj majmunski osjećaj uz neprestano češanje.

Robin and Orlando have a great first date, but paranoia -- and a certain communicable itch -- threaten to drive them apart.

In The Itch, Robin (Aaron Harris) and Orlando (Brandon Collins) have a great first date, but things get weird the next day when Robin gets an itch he can’t stop scratching and he blames Orlando. Robin talks it over with his flatmate Suzie (Vanessa Hardy), also fresh from a hot hook-up, but eventually Robin confronts Orlando as the one he believes gave him scabies. Cute, but not as infectious as its subject. The writing is rather clumsy, especially in the too-good-to-be-true character of Orlando, who seems to be filling up his resumé for an application for sainthood.
