Will their patient live until morning? Nurses Angelo and Salvatore make a bet. The Christmas holiday slot and 200 euros are at stake. Salvatore spends the night trying to keep the patient alive, while Angelo plays dirty to make sure he wins the bet. In a practically deserted hospital in Naples during Ferragosto, Italy's mid-August holiday, anything goes at the hospital, from the nurses' cheap shots to doctors on cocaine to suspicious characters lurking in the ward.

Directed by Giovanni Dota, with Carlo Buccirosso and Lino Musella

We are once again at the historic Angelico Hall on the campus of Dominican University in San Rafael. Built in 1921 and updated in 1989, Angelico Hall serves as Dominican's concert hall and guest speakers' venue. The new location offers the Italian Film Festival more comfortable theater seating, a larger screen, and improved picture and sound quality.
