Horse Fever
Directed by Steno
Produced by Primex
A darkly comedic portrait of a compulsive gambler's downward spiral, balancing satirical humor with the wreckage of addiction and infidelity.
Bruno Fioretti, known as "Mandrake", is an inveterate gambler who never misses a day at the horse racing track in Rome. He is doubly unlucky: he bets too much on one horse, and his wife is sleeping with his best friend because Mandrake is always at the track. Penniless and cuckolded, Mandrake decides to make one last bet.
