Rosella Tancredi

When a grandmother falls for a cheeky suitor with dubious intentions, her family devises a secret plan to protect her life — and their inheritance.

In the early 90s, Marco lives in a small provincial town in the south. The attraction for men, a violent father, bullying, a mother dominated by her husband will force Marco to leave for Rome in search of fortune, in search of true love, with the desire to breathe, to live and be himself. But fate has a surprise in store for him.

In a working-class neighborhood in Rome, a barber bothers his customers and neighbors with conspiracy theories he reads online. At home and in his small community nobody takes him seriously, especially when he convinces himself that streetlights send secret signals via Morse code. Yet, when the police arrive at his door and arrest him in front of his family, his credibility takes an unexpected twist.

Nic, also called "Lovely Boy", is the rising star of the roman suburbs. Tattoos and pure talent, he creates the XXG with his friend Borneo, a music duo that is headed straight to the top. Nic is then sucked into a spiral of self-destruction, which will lead him to a breaking point: he will soon have to deal with himself.
