Crescendo
“The most European Cadinot film ever! Slavic charm succumbs to Mediterranean feist, and love and sex join together to embrace all tongues.”
Synopsis
Dimitri is 22, loves Britney and is going to marry her. But sadly, he'd not counted on precious little Matheo who unexpectedly turns his life upside-down. Trouble and passion erupt between the two and Dimitri soon discovers to his surprise that doubt and jealousy lead him on extreme adventures where his high morals are seriously called in to question.
