Lords of London / Lost in Italy (2014)
Crime | Mystery | Thriller
Tony (Glen Murphy) is a notorious gangster with a big problem. He has woken up in an abandoned farmhouse, with blood on his shirt, and no memory of how he got there. He stumbles into a small town and discovers he's in an Italian village that seems to be lost in time. There are no phones and, as a stranger, no one will talk to him, except for one kind man, Francesco. Francesco tells of his grand-daughter, who is travelling Europe with a British boy she has fallen in love with. The boy is a hustler and Francesco worries she is making a huge mistake. Something in Francesco's tale strikes a familiar chord with Tony, and he realises he did not end up here by accident. Once Tony puts the pieces together, he has to choose between continuing his life as a gangster or sacrificing himself so others shall live.
