Forgive Us Our Debts

Guido (Claudio Santamaria) lives as he can: a casual job as a storekeeper, a few glasses at the bar with Rina (Flonja Kodheli), the new barista, and an old professor (Jerzy Stuhr) neighbor with whom to talk occasionally. And many debts on the shoulders. When he loses his job and suffers an aggression commissioned by his creditors, he understands that the only way to recover is paradoxically working for them, becoming a tax collector himself; it will work for free until the debt is extinguished. Franco (Marco Giallini) is an expert and well-known debt collector. A demon at work, an angel within the walls of his beautiful house, with his family. A balance found thanks to fleeting confessions in the church and morning runs in the alleys of the cemetery. It is Franco who will have to deal with the formation of Guido. A singular couple their: Franco, whimsical and captivating, an unshakable mask for Guido; Guido, reserved and solitary, a book open for Franco. Two roles destined for mutual contamination. Soon Guido will come into contact with people who have money but do not want to pay and with others instead offended and humiliated, who have already lost everything. At that point Guido can not but listen to his conscience, forcing Franco to unveil his own nature.
