About Si Vis Pacem Para Bellum
Stefano, a solitary killer with a dark past, works as a bouncer in a nightclub to cover up his real occupation. He avoids hanging out with friends and relatives and his only human contact is with young Filippo, who is enrolled in the same gym where he trains. His passion for Chinese food and the Orient leads him to meet Lee Ang, a girl who works in the family restaurant and who, a victim of her father's overbearing severity, begins to secretly date him until he falls in love with her and questions his life and future.
Directed by Stefano Calvagna, Si Vis Pacem Para Bellum leans on a strong ensemble — Stefano Calvagna, Francesca Fiume, Massimo Bonetti — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about crime titles of 2016.
