Synopsis by Jonathan Crow
Italian director Piergiorgio Gay makes his feature debut with this gritty look at the lives of recovering heroin addicts. Car salesman Paolo (Fabio Nova) quietly commits himself into a rural drug rehab clinic. There he ironically meets his former dealer Wolf (Antonio Baldissaro) who is sent to rehab in lieu of a jail sentence. Other members of the group include slacker Martina (Sandra Ceccarelli) and workaholic Giovanni (Marcello di Gregorio), who in spite of initial antagonism eventually fall for one another. Though Wolf escapes from the clinic with a cash box in hand, Paolo, along with Martina and Giovanni, enter the world clean and sober but without clear job prospects.
