In an abandoned outskirt near the Italian coast, the sweet and gentle Marcello runs a dog grooming salon. He’s a discrete man, loved by everyone. His peace and quiet soon get disrupted when the enormous and coke addicted ex-boxer Simoncino shows up at his front door. Marcello quickly finds himself entangled in a spiral of violence. The Italian director Matteo Garrone (‘Gomorra’) based this rock-hard crime drama on a true story from the late 1980s. Marcello Fonte won the Palme d'Or for Best Actor at the Cannes Film Festival.
