The Raffle

ComedyDramaRomance93 min

At a small-town fair, a raffle promises an unusual prize: a chance to spend time with Francesca, the young woman chosen to draw the crowds. What starts as a stunt turns into a public obsession as men buy tickets, rumors spread, and the whole town treats her like something to be won. Francesca tries to hold on to her own dignity while families argue, jealousies flare, and the contest exposes who is amused by the spectacle and who is ready to profit from it. Monica Bellucci appears as Francesca in a story that keeps shifting between farce, romance, and the unease of watching a person turned into a prize.
