PLOT
Our first Italian movie exclusively on Netflix. A five-week shoot entirely in Rome in December 2016 and January 2017. The staff of Dinamo Film managed the organization of the movie and the scouting.
Guido is a former computer technician who struggles to get by after the company he worked for declared bankruptcy and let all their employees go. His financial situation becomes quite precarious and he finds solace in alcohol, in Rina the bartender with whom he falls in love and in online chats with a teacher who’s passionate about playing pool. When the situation gets worse, Guido persuades the finance company with which he got into debt to hire him and he works alongside Franco in recovering the company’s unpaid loans. Their working methods are mostly obsessive and violent and this allows Guido to take revenge on the people who had fired him but it also makes him reflect on the cruelty of the job he is doing. Especially when, during one meeting, he has to deal with someone he’s particularly close to.
