The Tale of King Crab – Watch the trailer for the new Italian drama

Luciano (Gabriele Silli) is a wandering outcast in a remote, late 19th-century Italian village. His life becomes undone by alcohol, forbidden love, and a bitter conflict with the prince of the region over the right of passage through an ancient gateway. When the quarrel escalates, Luciano is exiled to the distant Argentine province of Tierra del Fuego where, with the help of ruthless gold-diggers, he searches for a mythical treasure, paving his way toward redemption. However, in these barren lands, only greed and insanity can prevail.

The film is written and directed by Alessio Rigo de Righi & Matteo Zoppis.

The film opens in New York on 15th April exclusively at Film at Lincoln Center and Los Angeles on 29th April.
