Spoilers ahead

Marino Pacileo is a solitary man living in the Vasto area of Naples, a multiethnic suburb near the train station. He is known by the nickname Gorbaciof, a mark that mirrors the port-wine stain on his forehead and hints at a hidden life beneath his quiet exterior. By day he works as a cashier in Poggioreale prison, but his true world unfolds at night in a backroom poker game behind a Chinese restaurant. There, the stacks of chips and the patient rhythm of the cards become the fuel for a growing gambling addiction that shadows everything else in his life.
