  HEADS OR TAILS TRAILER  

WITH ALESSANDRO BORGHI & JOHN C. REILLY

Before its release in theatres and digital from April 10th and a visit to Cannes Film Festival this year, a trailer has been released for 

The film is out April 10th in cinemas

new period set western movie HEADS OR TAILS from directors Alessio Rigo de Righi and Matteo Zoppis. Our favourite Italian actor Alessandro Borghi stars next to John C. Reilly who takes the role of Buffalo Bill. At the dawn of the 20th century, Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show rolls into Italy, peddling the myth of the American frontier and sparking the imagination of Rosa, a young woman trapped in a stifling marriage to a powerful and violent landowner. When a rodeo between American cowboys and Italian butteri ends in tragedy, Rosa flees with Santino, the daring local rider who bested the Americans. But in a world where justice is sold to the highest bidder, Buffalo Bill and others join the hunt for the bounty on Santino's head. Rosa's dream of freedom quickly collides with the weight of reality-and like in every good Western ballad, fate flips a coin.

Many of them, however, caused their wounds themselves, they are simulators, who would do anything to avoid going back to fighting. Stefano (Alessandro Borghi), from an upper-class family, with a father who plans a future for him in politics, is obsessed with these self-harmers and, in addition to being a doctor, he also acts as a cop in his own way. Giulio (Gabriel Montesi), apparently more understanding and tolerant, is not at ease at the sight of blood, he is more inclined towards research, he would have liked to become a biologist. Anna, a friend of both of them since university, suffers from being a woman. In those days, without an influential family behind you, it was difficult to obtain a medical degree. But she works voluntary at the Red Cross with determination. Meanwhile, something strange happens among the sick: many mysteriously get worse. Perhaps there is someone who purposely causes complications to their wounds, so that the soldiers are sent home, even crippled, as long as they do not return to battle. There is therefore a saboteur inside the hospital, of which Anna is the first to suspect. But on the war front, towards the end of the conflict, a kind of infection spreads which affects more than enemy weapons. And soon it also infects the civilian population...
