Tairo is caught up in an economic system that is pushing him to the margins. Superstition gives him hope of escaping this. He travels a rainy Italy looking for Arthur Robin, the former Mister Universe who once formed the horseshoe he has lost. Along the way, he meets old friends and members of his family, who show us a cross-section of a subculture surviving on the cusp of poverty. The result is a highly humane portrait of the circus life Covi and Frimmel have been involved with in the past, with real circus artists playing fictionalised versions of themselves.

Family Therapy revolves around a nouveau riche family living in a glass house, exuding an air of detached superiority. This serves as a satirical backdrop for a humorous reimagining of the premise of Pasolini’s Teorema: a young stranger arrives at the house, disrupting the delicate balance of the family’s dynamics, revealing a world of chaos and dysfunctional relationships hidden beneath its surface … With a tragicomical tone, the film explores contemporary social issues. Family Therapy had its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival.
