L'amico di Famiglia

Geremia de’ Geremei is a 70-year-old self-loathing loan shark who runs his business from his tailoring establishment. Filthy rich, tight-fisted, cynical and sardonic, he befriends the desperate and considers himself their benefactor. But his first love and his greed is his undoing. This is the director’s third feature and was nominated for the Golden Palm Award in Cannes (2006). With the support of the Italian Cultural Institute.
