This year, the European Union Film Festival (EUFF 2026) has the pleasure to present a selection of 15 European films which have never been screened in Hong Kong before. They were chosen carefully with the Consulates-General and Cultural Institutes of the European Union to share their rich culture and cinematic talent with the Hong Kong cinephiles.
The Italian Cultural Institute in Hong Kong presents the Italian film “Heads or Tails? (Testa o Croce?)” by Alessio Rigo de Righi and Matteo Zoppis.
Schedule:
24 Apr – 7:30pm – PREMIERE ELEMENTS
3 May – 3:05pm – Broadway Cinematheque
Synopsis:
At the turno f the 20th century, Buffalo Bill’s Wild West show rolls into Italy, peddling the myth of the American frontier. Among the spectators is Rosa, trapped in a violent marriage, who glimpses in that distant world a chance for escape.
When a rodeo pitting American cowboys against Italian butteri turns into tragedy, Rosa seizes the moment to flee with Santino, the buttero who defeated the Americans. But their escape draws them into a ruthless world, where justice is for sale and lives come at a price: a bounty is placed on Santino’s head, and even Buffalo Bill joins the hunt.
Rosa’s dream of freedom collides with a harsh and unpredictable reality where – like in a Western ballad – fate is decided by the toss of a coin.
