Synopsis

A large food processing company spanning five continents, listed on the Stock Market, in constant expansion towards new markets and new sectors: what might be called a jewel. Its founder, Amanzio Rastelli, lord and master of the firm, has placed in the firm’s controlling positions, his closest relatives: his son, his niece, plus several tried and true managers – despite the fact their education level is no higher than that of an accountant. An inadequate management to face the challenges which the market poses. And, in fact, the group falls into debt. Deeper and deeper. It’s not enough to fake the books, pump the sales, find backing from politicians, saddle investors with risk through bolder and bolder creative financial operations… The chasm has become gigantic, ready to swallow everything.
