Ein erhabenes, biblisch philosophisches Finale, das lange im Gedächtnis bleibt.
From the shadows of Sicily to the Olympus of Manhattan—the definitive epic about greed, art, and the quest for redemption.
Mr. Pellegrini has achieved the impossible: rising from a feared Sicilian Mafia strategist to become the untouchable "Art Dictator" of America. His exhibitions in New York, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas are no mere art shows—they are intoxicating excesses of gigantism! Amidst multi-ton marble columns, surreal sculptures, provocative photo collages, and flowing champagne, the global elite celebrate the new king of high culture.
Yet, behind this dazzling façade of operatic arias and Hollywood glamour, a time bomb is ticking. Hidden deep within the cavernous recesses of his galleries lie massive, multi-ton Swiss-made armored vaults—the foundation of his cold-blooded money-printing machine.
As the envy of rival mafia syndicates from the U.S. and Italy reaches a boiling point, a relentless struggle erupts in the shadows of power. Betrayed by those closest to him, hounded by the ghosts of his past, and isolated within the concrete jungle of Manhattan, Pellegrini loses everything he once thought he possessed.
Only at the very bottom of the abyss—in the silence of a New York cathedral—does this fallen giant experience a true, liberating revelation...
A cinematic masterpiece, rich in dark humor, dramatic twists, and timeless poetry. Conceived and directed by art director Igor Bajenov.
