Kabir
in one of his best character roles:
94 movie stills with Kabir Bedi in A/R ANDATA+RITORNO now online.
A Christmas fairy tale full of lively but somewhat dodgy characters,
filmed with great love for detail.
A band of lovable rogues, including
Kabir Bedi in one of his best character parts, come to the rescue
of a young man in need and bring the story to a happy end with love
and money aplenty.
It's Christmas
in the land of Silvio Berlusconi.
In the northern city of Turin, young Dante Cruciani (Libero De Rienzo) earns
his living as a lightning fast bike courier. Apart from being the star employee
of the company Time Machine, he moonlights as a slightly unorthodox Santa.
His father, an acknowledged expert in opening safety deposit boxes, is in jail.
Dante's brother Mohammed runs a lively trade in items that have fallen off the
back of a lorry. After getting into a spot of trouble himself, Dante is keen
to book a one-way journey out of Turin as a matter of some urgency. But he is
in rather less of a hurry to pay back the loan sharks who have helped him pay
for his plane ticket...
Surprisingly, Dante actually arrives at the first stop of his journey around
the world - Barcelona!
But the mysterious appearance of a bag of white powder in Dante's luggage meets
with the displeasure of Spanish customs. After spending a brief time in jail
in the company of a Spanish Santa, now penniless Dante returns by train to Turin,
where a man in a neck collar and his lugubrious friends eagerly await his arrival.
Nina de la Serna (Vanessa Incontrada), a little coy about her real name Nefertiti,
is a pert Spanish stewardess living mostly with her head in the clouds and is
losing interest fast in her unfaithful nearly-ex-boyfriend. Constrained by an
Italian general strike to keep her feet on the ground, she goes hunting for a
place to spend the night in Turin.
This is not an easy task given that all available hotel rooms are booked by other
stranded travellers. But to her good fortune she runs into Tolstoy (Kabir
Bedi), the bell boy of the Grand Hotel, Dante's avuncular friend and the
devoted carer of his goldfish, which has been widowed in an appalling act of
murder.
Chief among the rag-tag band of brothers that surrounds Dante, Tolstoy rarely
takes no for an answer. He knows what life has in store for him, and what's more,
he knows Curt Cobain!
Put up by Tolstoy in the apartment of the absent Dante, Nina is to become deeply
involved in her host's life, help him with his far-fetched plans, fall madly
in love with him, seduce him, and generally turn his already unpredictable existence
upside down.
In true romantic Christmas style, bad-boy biker meets airline angel in a tale
of love, crime and refreshingly non-Hollywood sex!
