Luis Bacalov - New Trolls

Stefano, a Milanese advertising of Venezuelan origins, is on bad terms with his wife Luisa. One day, on a trip to Venice with his mistress Fabiane, he meets a mysterious character, the young Count Matteo Tiepolo who, little by little, insinuates himself into his life. Matteo proposes to Stefano a pact dictated by “friendship”: he will kill his wife if Stefano kills his brother.
The man does not intend to carry out the plan, but, when his wife really dies, Stefano realizes that the count has nevertheless carried out what he had proposed. Stefano goes to Venice where the count proposes to exonerate him on agreement to kill his brother, shooting him from the Basilica of Santa Maria della Salute with a sniper rifle that he will find in the luggage storage of a garage. Suspected by the police and set up by Matteo, Stefano tells the truth, but is not believed and in the end he just has to do his part to repay his debt.
