   Hey,   
      
   While watching this movie, I did something I rarely – if ever – do: I   
   paused the stream and moved the action back a few minutes. Twice. It’s that   
   kind of film.   
      
   Ostensibly, it’s a heist film that opens with a love story, and that love   
   story opens with Sonia – a maid at a swank hotel – who finds that a female   
   guest took a header out of the window while she cleaned the guest’s room.   
   After that she goes to    
   a speed-dating club and meets Guido, an ex-cop and now a security guard for an   
   incredibly rich client. Guido is taken with Sonia and wants to show her the   
   estate where he works. To do that he has to turn off all the video   
   surveillance to prevent alarms    
   going off. While walking through the woods, masked gunmen take them hostage   
   back to the manor.   
      
   What actually happened and who made what happened happen is the rest of the   
   movie and it’s an odd and interesting ride.    
      
   Directed by Giuseppe Capotondi from a screenplay by Alessandro Fabbri,   
   Ludovica Rampoldi, Stefano Sardo. Cinematography by Tat Radcliffe and music by   
   Pasquale Catalano. Starring Filippo Timi, Ksenlya Rappoport, and Antonia   
   Truppo, among others.
