Three Infallible Rules

Bruno, 13, is in a panic: he has discovered that his love is reciprocated by Flavia, but he has no idea how to start a relationship. He needs someone to teach him and, coincidentally Luca, whom he despises, is the only man who has managed to make his stonehearted mother Claudia fall in love. Bruno will be forced to put aside any contrast and follow the advice of his worst enemy. What Bruno doesn’t know is that Luca and his mother live a very fragile, undermined, not at all exemplary relationship.

Requiem Espresso

Requiem Espresso is a love letter to pop cinema culture. It's the story of Francesco: a delivery guy that sleeps on his friend's sofa. Only a few years earlier he was Frank, the front man of a band that was on the verge of success. Then one day, during his deliveries, an opportunity knocks on his door: to open the concert of an international band and finally make his comeback on the stage. Frank will have to put together his old band with which he burned bridges and face the past he escaped from. He does not know, however, that the concert is actually a cover for something very different...
