About
World premiere as the closing film of the 41st International Critics’ Week in Venice. A film that reinvents the musical starting from the present, finding in rap and rhyme not just a rhythm but a way of thinking.
Synopsis
Samuele, known as Sami, is a young delivery rider who crosses Milan every day. On New Year’s Eve he delivers a huge sushi order to a luxury villa north of the city. Invited to stay for the party, he meets Nia and an instant connection sparks between them. But a decision taken on impulse will have fatal consequences.
