Description:

Augusto, an aging small-time con artist, takes on two eager young apprentices: Roberto, a singer dreaming of becoming Italy's next big star, and Bruno, nicknamed Picasso for his clever schemes. Together, they operate in the city's hidden world, planning elaborate cons and heists to stay one step ahead of the police. As their partnership develops, a series of problems and complicated relationships test Augusto’s carefully constructed life of deception. Meanwhile, Roberto grapples with balancing fame and crime, while Picasso questions the ethics of his work. The film examines loyalty and betrayal, ambition and redemption, set against a vibrant, dangerous backdrop where artistry and crime intersect. As Augusto's carefully planned future falls apart, the audience wonders if the pursuit of success justifies the personal costs in this complex game of survival.
