Summary of Lamerica
A pair of Italian con men travel to Albania in the aftermath of Communism's collapse, hoping to take advantage of the ravaged economy by setting up a sham corporation and appointing a senile old man as its figurehead. But the ruse fails when the puppet CEO wanders away from the orphanage where he'd been stowed, leading one of the cons on an eye-opening quest through the slums. Winner of the Best Director prize at the Venice Film Festival.
