Minnesota Premiere
"When I woke up, the nightmare began." So begins the story of Adriano Doria (Riccardo Scamarcio), a very successful forty-year-old businessman, who wakes up one morning in a mountain hotel room next to a dead body. The lifeless body belongs to his young mistress, the charming photographer Laura (Miriam Leone, At War for Love, IFF 2018). Though he protests his innocence, Adriano is the obvious prime suspect. He commissions the notoriously tough attorney Virginia Ferrara (Maria Paiato), who has never lost a case, to plan his defense strategy. With the emergence of a key witness and just hours to go before his interrogation that could definitively condemn him, Adriano is forced to tell the whole truth.
