Surviving bar-to-bar on anecdotes and the ‘good old days’, two blustery 50-somethings hatch a plan to change their luck by digging up the cash their old pal buried before he left for Argentina. En route to the airport, they come across a shy architecture student whose view of life will transform as they take him under their wing on a road trip across the Venetian plains.

Francesco Sossai’s dazzling sophomore feature is many things at once: a road movie, a casual caper, a tribute to a vanishing industrial Italy, a scruffy intergenerational odyssey, and free-flowing bender through time and space.
