Rimini in winter: Between permanent intoxication and gambling addiction, the once celebrated pop star Richie Bravo chases his faded fame. He finances his dissolute lifestyle by performing for bus tourists and offering his love services to female fans. One day, his adult daughter suddenly shows up at his door demanding money that Richie doesn't have. Master director Ulrich Seidl's acclaimed new directorial work RIMINI tells of lonely existences in search of happiness while lost in the fog of the Italian off-season. A melancholic milieu study of both deep romance and sadness.
