Giulia Bevilacqua

The lives of a bisexual former body builder, his wife, his male lover, and a pair of ambitious criminals intersect in an apartment building in Rome.

From Vincenzo Marra, acclaimed writer/director of Sailing Home and The Session Is Open comes his most savage indictment yet of modern Italian society: The Trial Begins. Newcomer Michele Lastella delivers a breakthrough performance as ambitious young Filippo Costa, who rises through the ranks of the Financial Police via his own opportunity for corruption. But when he connects with a wealthy older widow (the legendary Fanny Ardant of The Woman Next Door and Il Divo), Filippo quickly becomes a part of Rome’s social, financial and political elite. In a nation that rewards ruthless ambition, what must one man ultimately sacrifice to build his own empire? Giulia Bevilacqua co-stars in this stunning portrait of today’s amoral Italy that critics have compared to Bertolucci’s THE Conformist. From IFC Films.

Nero Wolfe is one of Rome's best investigators but he'd rather tend to his orchids. However, he's always ready for clients who pay well and don't irritate him. Based on the novels by Rex Stout.
