Richie Bravo, once upon a time a successful Austrian pop star, chases after his faded fame in wintry Rimini, Italy. He funds his dissolute lifestyle and addiction to gambling with concerts for busloads of German-speaking tourists and sexual favors for his female fans. His world starts to collapse when his adult daughter suddenly breaks into his life and demands money from him that she feels he owes her. Meanwhile his elderly father, who suffers from dementia, goes round and round in circles in an Austrian nursing home as his condition steadily declines. A Big World Pictures release

A film by Ulrich Seidl

A shiveringly precise slow burn… about the moral arc of the universe bending, across generations, toward the coldest justice imaginable.”
