Bankrupt in his professional and personal life, Z-grade movie producer Bruno Bonomo is finding it impossible to raise the finance for his latest project. Entangled in debts, struggling with a capsizing marriage, Bruno is going under. By chance, he meets a young director who gives him her script, “The Caiman”. At first Bruno takes it for a half-hearted thriller ; a more careful - if belated - reading reveals a film about Berlusconi. No longer can he stand back. He must set up the production, find the lead actor, sort out the financing of the film – all the while trying to pick up the pieces of his broken relationship. Yet in the midst of endless setbacks and problems, a new spirit is awakened in Bruno Bonomo. Somewhere within himself, he finds the desire and the energy to pursue to its end this project, which arrived by chance but which now, he sees as a matter of life and death. (StudioCanal UK)
