    Looking for the lucky chair!
    Bruna is a beautician who struggles to make ends meet. Betrayed by her boyfriend and chased by an unscrupulous supplier, she receives a confession on the point of death from a client. She is the mother of a famous bandit and hid a treasure in one of the chairs in her living room. Bruna leaves for the villa and remains stuck behind a gate in the company of a wild boar. Dino, a tattoo artist working next to her beauty shop, comes to her rescue and ends up involved in the affair. After discovering the assets have been confiscated and auctioned (including the eight chairs they are looking for), Bruna and Dino track down collectors and buyers in search of the chair filled with jewels. Adventure goes on with ups and downs, magicians and odd collectors, lagoon and mountains. Bruna and Dino will find much more along the way.

    Sustained by very likeable leads and interesting quirky supporting characters, this is an enjoyable adventure centered on pursuing happiness. Teaming up with a wacky greedy priest, among a magician, industrious immigrated entrepreneurs, a grumpy fishmonger and an artist / shepherd living in the majestic scenaries of the Alps, these are some of the eccentric characters they need to face in order to find their lucky chair. A simple story enriched by interesting story-telling, originating a pleasant flick.
