The film is an international co-production among producers based in Germany, France, the U.S. and the United Kingdom. The dialogue is in Italian and English.
Synopsis
The film is set in Turin, Italy. It opens with a prologue sequence showing the young Italian Carabinieri clerk Filippo (Ribisi) learning to fly a helicopter using a flight simulator. When he accidentally crashes the virtual helicopter by ascending too dramatically, his instructor tells him, "In a real helicopter, you can't just keep going up and up," prompting Filippo to ask, "How high can i fly?"Actors
