Our take

Set in the murky territories of Italy’s richest families, where the financial and political are heavily intertwined, this is a riveting tale on greed’s dangers. Led by an impressive cast, the film won many awards, including Tribeca Film Festival’s Best Actress prize for Valeria Bruni Tedeschi.
