BRIANZA

115', Feature Film
Italy, Switzerland, 2026
2009: as the economic crisis tightens its grip on Italy, Giorgio Farina, heir to a prestigious armory in Brianza, risks losing everything after investing a fortune in opening a luxury boutique in Switzerland.
Submerged in debt and obsessed with keeping his respectability intact, Giorgio gets involved with Alberto Fumagalli, an eccentric businessman who proposes an embezzlement plan. Their meeting gives life to an unlikely alliance: Fumagalli drags Giorgio into a universe where the rules seem to have a different meaning and where every problem can become an opportunity.
What seems like an easy way out, however, becomes a spiral of secrets and dangers that threatens his family, his honor and everything he has always tried to protect.
