Eugenia Capizzano

Lucas, a young lawyer obsessed with crime novels, turns a chance encounter with a beautiful woman into a date ending in his bed. But when he wakes up alone, missing a secret stash of cash, the game’s afoot. Inspired by his favorite gumshoes, Lucas looks for clues. What was once a love story becomes the caper to end all capers.

Three situations of vaguely theatrical origin, stripped of all outer clothing, reveal the track of a different cinema. whose realism seeps into the cracks of his apparently self-contained, closed world.

Premiered at International Film Festival Rotterdam 1998.
