is a psychological thriller in which Titta Di Girolamo (Toni Servillo) is a middle-aged former stockbroker who now makes his living as a minor functionary with the Mafia. A few times a week Di Girolamo handles bank deposits of large sums of money brought to Italy from the United States. When he's not occupied with that, Di Girolamo's life is barren, with only his occasional heroin use adding drama to his days. Divorced and cut off from his former wife and children, Di Girolamo lives in a hotel, and spends much of his day killing time in their cocktail lounge as he watches barmaid Sofia (Olivia Magnani) at work. When Di Girolamo's more outgoing brother Valerio (Adriano Giannini) stops by for a visit, he goads Di Girolamo into making small talk with Sofia, and soon he makes the unexpected discovery that Sophia has long had an infatuation with him (2004, Paolo Sorrentino, 100 minutes).

The film won five David di Donatello awards, including Best Film, Best Director and Best Actor, and was nominated for the Palme D'Or at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival. It was the first film to achieve widespread critical acclaim for the Neapolitan director Paolo Sorrentino.
