Synopsis

The story unravels on the rolling hills where Prosecco grapes are grown, and where one finds a winemaking Count fighting to protect his territory, a stubborn half-Italian half-Persian police inspector struggling with his job, a cement plant manager who died on a rainy night from three gunshots, and a crazy man seeking otherworldly blessings by scraping the rust from the tombs in the local cemetery. Antonio Padovan’s thriller regales the viewer with a tale about the lure of the land, the effervescence of bubbles, the conflict between greed and respect, all shaped by an inheritance of beauty and the value of quality.
