Enzo, a professor of astrophysics in Trieste, lives on a country estate, far from a life devoted to underfunded university research, with a wife who is still seeing her ex-husband and a mother who despises him. One day, the professor accidentally saves the life of a hit man, who now owes him a favour: he’ll kill his worst enemy. But perhaps Enzo should fear his own family more than an assassin... The film was written by the director, along with Heidrun Schleef, Luca De Benedittis, Diego Abatantuono and David Mcwater, and was produced by Falkor Production and Turnus Film. Markus Hürsch is in charge of photography, and Fabrizio Nicora is in charge of set design. 

Filming will commence in Acquaviva delle Fonti, at the planetary astronomical observatory, and will continue for five weeks in Puglia, between Casarano, Lecce, Tricase, Bari and Trani, before a further week of filming in Gstaad, Switzerland. The film is due to be released next autumn by Medusa Film in Italy and Filmcoop in Switzerland.
