A small industrialist from Turin, who inherited the business from his father, finds himself facing a serious economic crisis with unease. This crisis is echoed by personal crises: misunderstandings with his wife and intemperance towards those around him.
Tickets
A train travels across Italy toward Rome. Onboard is a professor who daydreams a conversation with a love that never was; a family of Albanian refugees who switch trains and steal a ticket; three brash Scottish soccer fans en route to a match; and a complaining widow travelling to a memorial service for her late husband who's accompanied by a community-service volunteer who's assisting her. Interactions among these Europeans turn on class and nationalism, courtesy and decorum, and opportunities for kindness.

Nightmare School – The Mystery of Professor Marabecca
Set in the imposing Kaiser Academy—a private boarding school that looks like something out of a Gothic novel—*Nightmare School* tells the story of Vittoria’s inexplicable disappearance. A group of friends—Isa, Michi, and Gibbo—join forces to search for her, discovering that the school is far more than a place of learning: it is steeped in legend, a guardian of dangerous secrets, and presided over by an authoritarian headmistress who is the heir to a shadowy alchemist founder…

Peggio di così si muore
In this deliberately campy, slightly slapstick European parody of Alfred Hitchcock films from the 1950s, a newlywed couple returns from their honeymoon to discover that they have accidentally switched suitcases at the airport. They know the bag they have isn't theirs because it is stuffed with 500 million lire. At first they put out an ad for the owner; then they decide to keep it for themselves. Mayhem ensues when the bag's thuggish owners suddenly show up at the couple's housewarming party and demand they give every penny back. Later when one of them returns to threaten the bride, she accidentally kills him. His partner and a policeman chase the couple into the mountain retreat of the bride's brother, a frustrated writer. He finds the mess inspiring, and then is assisted by the gangster's ghost, who becomes his muse. The ghost gives them the advice they need for the couple to safely escape.
