Nando managed to work as an electronic engineer, a railway worker, and a bartender, but his real passion was always dancing. He and his wife Katerina took part in all the dance marathons on the Riviera - of course, wanting to win. The family passion for winning was passed on to Sandro, but his element was cards. Once upon a time he had a job, a girlfriend, a future. They were replaced by a card table, where Sandro hopes, if he takes a chance, to win everything at once, experiencing either euphoria, then melancholy, or cold indifference. And now the prodigal son returns home to face his own fears. The novel by Marco Missiroli is a journey through the deserted streets of winter Rimini, where even the seagulls are silent, and the winding nooks and crannies of family relationships.
