The Landlords (2012) (original) (raw)

Directed by Edoardo Gabbriellini

Two construction-workers, the brothers Cosimo and Elia, are hired by the famous singer, Fausto Mieli, to do some work on his rural mansion before he's due to make his big career comeback-concert in his home city.

Two construction-workers, the brothers Cosimo and Elia, are hired by the famous singer, Fausto Mieli, to do some work on his rural mansion before he's due to make his big career comeback-concert in his home city.

It all seems like an easy enough job, but when the brothers get there, they become the talk of the town, because they are foreign out-of-towners, and the small community doesn't like strangers. Things get even worse, when Elia notices a dead wolf in the back of a van belonging to a gang of local poachers, and tells Fausto about it.

It turns out, Fausto is the forest protector, and can't stand poachers, so he takes it up with the local mayor, much to the annoyance of the gang. Matters gets even worse, when Elia begins flirting with the local young beauty Adriana, which her wanna-be boyfriend, the poacher Davide certainly doesn't like.

Meanwhile, Cosimo has a couple of unfortunate encounters with Fausto's wife, Moira, who is disabled, and sits in a wheelchair. All these small events leads up to a tragic climax, in the middle of Fausto's comeback-show. (less)
