What happens

Palazzina Laf is a 2023 Italian-French drama film co-written and directed by Michele Riondino in his directorial debut and starring along with Elio Germano. The film is about a spy working for a corrupt company where a factory manager hires him to stalk his colleagues. The film's title acronym stands for "Laminatoio a freddo", which translates to "cold rolling mill". Palazzina Laf refers to the name of a real building of the ILVA steel company in Taranto where demoted employees were confined in inhumane working conditions in the late 1990s.
