Crossing the Rubicon

The year is 1985. An army of young Americans are kicking around Europe during the Reagan years. There is no war. No Left Bank. In fact, there’s no reason for them to be there at all. But they are looking for something - no one knows what. A lost generation on travelers checks.

In the sleepy northern Italian town of Ferrara, two college football players have come in search of conquest and glory, but quickly run out of field. Sensing their playing days are coming to an end, they seize the opportunity for one last adventure, picking up a “grey market” BMW in Germany and racing it the length of Italy where they find they are delivering more than just a car.

From the Alps to the Apennines, to the wild coast of Rimini, to Rome, Naples and the volcanic island of Ischia, Crossing the Rubicon is a modern day road movie and tale of yearning and wanderlust in the cinematic tradition of Easy Rider.
