The scene captures a moment where Perseus encourages Alessandro to eat after a long period without food. Despite Alessandro's struggles, Perseus insists that his padded hands are still capable of holding bread and soup, urging him to take advantage of the food available from the ovens. The warm smell of fresh bread adds to the allure of nourishment, highlighting the necessity of strengthening oneself after suffering.

This interaction reflects the camaraderie between the characters and Perseus's attempts to lift Alessandro's spirits. The humorous analogy to a kangaroo emphasizes the absurdity of their situation, yet it also illustrates the resilience needed to survive in difficult times. Perseus’s encouragement serves as a reminder that even in hardship, the simple joys of food can bring strength and comfort.
