This film serves up an absorbing treatise on how the rich can ride roughshod over the ‘little people’ when their security is threatened, as well as a being a gripping and thrilling drama with a mystery at its center – who was driving the jeep that fateful night and what will the consequences be – for all involved. The film is set in a town in Brianza. During the night, a car hits a young cyclist and the conducent runs. The victim is left suffering without relief. The next day, two well-known families in the city are involved in the case of the guy, who is now dying at the hospital. The director of the film takes the opportunity to draw a portrait ruthless and cynical of any component of the two families, not making discounts either for the more mature members or for the younger set.
“A chic thriller! A top-flight cast gives the character-driven drama depth and conviction.” –
Deborah Young, The Hollywood Reporter
“Perfectly cast! This slick, stylish fusion of class critique and murder mystery confirms Paolo Virzi as one of Italy’s more dynamic directors.” – Jay Weissberg, Variety

“Delightfully surrealist and had great ambition for a short film. It also broke away from traditional narrative and was visually dynamic and beautifully shot. The production design was strong and there was brilliant snail wrangling”.
