Requiem Espresso is a love letter to pop cinema culture. It's the story of Francesco: a delivery guy that sleeps on his friend's sofa. Only a few years earlier he was Frank, the front man of a band that was on the verge of success. Then one day, during his deliveries, an opportunity knocks on his door: to open the concert of an international band and finally make his comeback on the stage. Frank will have to put together his old band with which he burned bridges and face the past he escaped from. He does not know, however, that the concert is actually a cover for something very different...

Detective by chance, out of anger and human curiosity, always poised between ironic indolence and blues yearning, in his search for the truth Carlo Monterossi will have to confront a couple of cultured and professional killers, two gypsies looking for revenge, collectors and smugglers of Nazi-fascist souvenirs, incredible personal exchanges, a woman who seems to have lived several times and a cruel past that returns and leaves indecipherable clues behind. A comedic twist based on Alessandro Robecchi's successful crime novels.
