The Swindle background

The Swindle

Skilled con artists balance the thrill of their lucrative profession with the complexities of their personal lives and family obligations.

Three scam artists, Augusto, Carlo, and Roberto, operate together, targeting rural peasants who are often uneducated and unaware of their schemes. The trio's dynamic is tested as each member reevaluates their life choices, prompted by distinct incidents. Carlo, who dreams of supporting his family as an artist, struggles to reconcile his deceitful lifestyle with his desire for a legitimate income. Augusto, meanwhile, is forced to confront his own identity and sense of responsibility after reconnecting with his long-lost daughter, Patrizia, who is considering extending her education.
