98m; Italy/France

Director: Daniele Luchetti

Synopsis: Construction foreman Claudio (Elio Germano) has a good job, a beautiful wife (Isabella Ragonese), two young boys and a third on the way. But tragedy strikes when his wife dies giving birth. Now child care and the explosive demands of his job–a complex web that includes highly leveraged loans from the neighborhood pimp (Luca Zingaretti), the hiring of illegal immigrant workers and blackmailing his boss to get a prized contract–have him working harder than ever. The latest from Daniele Luchetti (MY BROTHER IS AN ONLY CHILD, 2008 AFI European Union Film Showcase) explores everyday melodrama in a working-class milieu.
