About this title

Synopsis

1978.
Mentre l'Italia intera vive i giorni drammatici del sequestro Moro, una Milano stremata dagli scontri politici e sotto la minaccia del banditismo si prepara a diventare la Citt� da Bere degli anni Ottanta. Per la societ� ricca, quella che nella bella stagione si trasferisce a Santa Margherita e Paraggi, i divertimenti si fanno sempre pi� estremi, in un clima da fine impero.
� in questo ambiente, tra ristoranti di lusso, discoteche, bische clandestine e cabaret - dove cresce una nuova generazione di comici - che conduce i propri affari un uomo enigmatico, affascinante, reso cinico da una menomazione inflittagli per uno sgarbo. Tutti lo conoscono con il nome di Bravo. Lavora con le donne. Le vende. La sua esistenza � una lunga notte bianca che trascorre in compagnia di disperati, come l'amico Daytona. L'unico essere umano con cui pare avere un rapporto normale � Lucio, il vicino di casa. Ad accomunarli � la passione per i crittogrammi.
La comparsa improvvisa di una ragazza, Carla, sembra risvegliare dolorosamente in Bravo sensazioni che credeva sopite per sempre. � invece l'inizio di un incubo che lo trasformer� in un uomo braccato dalla polizia, dai Servizi Segreti deviati, dalla criminalit� organizzata e dai brigatisti rossi. Per salvarsi potr� contare solo su se stesso. Il mondo reale, cui aveva cercato di sottrarsi sostituendo l'oscurit� alla luce del giorno, lo reclama mettendolo faccia a faccia con la violenza del proprio tempo. Qualcosa di talmente grosso da far apparire acqua cristallina i suoi torbidi traffici.
