LUDOMAN – A Journey into the World of Gambling Superheroes

Marco is 32 — the same age his father was when he started gambling. He sets out to confront his father’s absence and, after years, goes looking for him. He immerses himself in a new world: the world of gambling superheroes. Marco is the director, and this is his story. A story where addiction is seen as a superpower through the eyes of a boy watching his father grow through illness. A journey across Italy — support groups, addiction services, former players — that becomes many people’s story at once. An absence that is also, throughout, a concrete presence. Until, finally, he speaks to his father. For real.
