Synopsis
Dino is a placid, unambitious man. Living in a small provincial town, his only passion is billiards—he spends his evenings honing his technique. One day, however, Dino’s quiet life is interrupted—his wife falls pregnant. This is the first in a series of events that shake him from his slumber and force Dino to test himself for the first time.
