"Il Vespista" - Francesco Crivaro [2020]
Giorgio, an unruled Italian writer, has found a second home in Bali where he leads a relaxed but somehow purposeless life. While pretending to his family that he is working on a novel he never writes, Giorgio spends his days wandering around, drinking whiskey and flirting with tourists.
Wayan, on the other hand, is a Balinese waiter who lives in perpetual debt. Struggling to make ends meet for him and his family, Wayan has to resort to creativity in order to pay his bills. Though right now things don't look so bright for him: owing to a local gangster, he has one day to gather enough money to pay his debt.
The fates of these two very different men cross when Giorgio decides to help his Balinese friend. As a reward, Giorgio will receive a unexpected gift that will change his life forever.
