Armed Lovers poster
NR

Upon his release from prison, Gio reunites with his Toni. The two petty thieves want to turn their lives around: she proposes one last heist, while he dreams of making a movie.

That drab, black-and-white day transforms into a color film with a noir vibe, starring none other than Toni and Gio themselves! What will the "armed lovers" choose: Toni’s heist or Gio’s movie?
