In a run-down bar in Southern Italy, locals gather every day to play “padrone e sotto,” a game of cards and drinks. While the beer gets as warm as the spirit of these peasants, nurses, mechanics, and hunters, Cirigliano remembers the fascination and terror that mysterious hobby and its infuriated players used to cause on him back when he was a kid. Behind the apparent pleasure of a fun time between friends, Padrone e sotto discovers the innate desire for love, recognition, and power that is hidden inside all of us.
