Description

Leila is young, beautiful and a hustler. She robs hapless men picked up in the trendy nightclubs of Bologna. Easy money, until she ends up with a document at the centre of a carefully crafted plot of political blackmail. In an atmosphere of intense underworld paranoia she is pursued simultaneously by two secret service operatives, a goon hired by the blackmailer and the police. They are after the document and a suitcase full of dollars meant to be the pay-off. Chased through the streets of Bologna she comes across Francesco, a bus driver and gambling addict who spends most of his time running from the Bear, a terrifying debt collector for the mob. Suitcases and blackmail notes change hands at a frenetic pace against a background of murder and other violence beyond the fringe. A savagely funny crime adventure with an Italian twist.
