Il Capitale umano (2013)
Film Synopsis
On the bank of Lake Como in Italy, Dino Ossola leads a respectable but unfulfilled life as an estate agent, married to Roberta, a psychologist. Not content with his present middle-class status, Dino is prepared to resort to any means to pull himself up the social ladder and take his place among the higher echelons of Italian society. The fact that his daughter Serena is on friendly terms with Massimiliano Bernaschi, the son of an important businessman, might well be used to his advantage. Unfortunately, Serena is more preoccupied with Luca Ambrosini, a young man from a poorer neighbourhood with delinquent tendencies. When a cyclist is knocked down by a motorist and left for dead one Christmas Eve, Dino finds he has the means to extort a huge sum of money from the wealthy Bernaschi family. The scheme is thwarted by Luca...© James Travers
