After the Arcangelo affair, the Pasti brothers, together with an eccentric half-sister they didn't know they had, have made a name for themselves as "gravediggers of VIPs" and are vying for a coveted category award never won before, the Vespillone D'oro. But the evaluation commission finds a gigantic hole in the company's books, which threatens to exclude them from the race for the award. But how is this possible? The answer is in Matteo Pasti's confession: he "borrowed" large sums from company accounts to maintain a virtual relationship with the cam girl named Bella Salma. A stage name that, soon, is on the opening news of all the news: the sex worker is found dead in her villa due to an unlikely domestic accident. The Pasti phone is not long in ringing...

Acqua e anice is a “dance hall road movie” about Olimpia, a legendary ballroom dancer and a fixture at local dance halls, who, at age seventy, dusts off her orchestra’s tour bus.

One dark night during the early phases of WWII, the Italian Royal Navy submarine Cappellini sinks an armed merchant ship sailing with lights out. At that moment, its commander Salvatore Todaro makes a decision that was destined to go down in history: to save the 26 shipwrecked Belgians who otherwise would have drowned in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and disembark them at the nearest safe harbor. To make room for them on board his submarine, he is forced to navigate on the surface of the water for three days, visible to the enemy forces and endangering his life and that of his men.

Sara, Ester, and Miriam are three sisters who have never left the farmhouse where their father and grandmother raised them. They venerate God because they are an extremely Christian family, and fully respect the dogmas and punishments that the Scriptures, and the Old Testament above all, have transmitted to them. They believe in no intermediary, no Church, and no sacred image: Grandma Paolina rises to all those roles that separate them from the Lord’s grace. Adolescence, however, has brought with it questions and physical transformations that have changed the sisters’ outlooks. The doubt that sin has penetrated into their minds and hands is a legitimate one, and each of them responds differently to their first sexual urges. When tragedy strikes the family and their young cousin Primo is forced to come to the farmhouse, the sisters’ lives are forever changed.
