Royal Tenenbaum45岁那年夫妻分居,他一个人去住酒店,独自抚养孩子的妻子Etheline把所有重心都放在了孩子才能的培养方面。不负众望,他们的三个孩子个个都是天才,她以此写作了一本素——《天才一族》。 大儿子Chas12岁时就对生意运筹帷幄,初中就购置不动产,对财务有着超同寻常的理解。二女儿Margot两岁时被收养,这个话题被父亲叨叨终身以致Matgot有点神经质地耿耿于怀。这个天才剧作家9岁时就赢得了勇士奖。Richie从三年级起就是冠军网球选手,业余喜爱组乐队和收藏汽车模型以及绘画,17岁转做职业选手的他连续三年获得美国公开赛冠军。 时间荏苒,父母分居过去20年,三个天才孩子长大成人,Chas在一次飞机失事失去妻子后从此和2个孩子惶惶度日,Matgot整日把自己锁在浴室不与丈夫交谈更是9年都没有新剧本面世,Richie在大海上准备一年的航行。这一切都被Royal的一个突然消息中止:他患上了癌症只剩下6个礼拜的生命,他想和家人共度最后的时光。这天才一家再度聚首,有趣的事层出不穷。
Rimini, 1991. For more than a year, the uno bianca gang - they always use a white Fiat Uno - has plagued the area. Their crimes are violent, sometimes killing carabineri, and there's no particular pattern: a bank one day, a petrol station the next, extortion of a small business the next. Are they terrorists? A foreign gang? Tied to the Mafia? After a particularly bloody shootout, two detectives are assigned to start fresh: they go through the notebooks of previous investigators and they interview a few witnesses again. They find a pattern in the crimes and predict the next assault, but the special task force in Bologna is dismissive. Can they carry on alone how far will they get?
