The Coin

Carlo is a bum who suffers of recurrent nightmares. He lives by the rule of the coin, tossing the very same coin over and over again to take every single decision of his life. Coin after coin he arrives in L'Aquila, a city hit by an earthquake. Here he becomes involved in a gruesome murder case. With the help of Marta, an alcoholic woman he met on the road, he starts an investigation which will soon have a metaphysical perspective.
