Slow burn Italian thriller / mystery set inside busy cafe known as The Place.
Solitary man with thick, tattered notebook spends most of his days there.
One by one, an endless string of guests sit across from him and make appeals.
Minor favors, life or death, or miracles. “It’s doable,” he says.
For a cost, a task. One that will test their humanity.
The stranger is not so much confessor or godfather, but interlocutor or middle man.
Not necessarily for good, either.
