Schlock film producer Bruno Bonomo is at a crossroads in both his personal and professional lives. As financing for his next throwaway film is difficult to secure, he stumbles upon a screenplay by a young woman with a hidden agenda. At first read, the script she gives Bruno seems like a run-of-the-mill thriller, but it soon reveals itself as a critical expose of the Berlusconi government. The subject matter revitalizes Bruno and helps him rediscover the passion that once drove him. Beneath the political satire is the powerful story of a crumbling personal life and a man apprehensive about an uncertain relationship with the children he adores - an element that recalls Moretti`s earlier [The Son`s Room].
