==Plot==
Largo Winch ([[Paolo Seganti]]) is a 28-year-old adventurer, drifting around the world, searching for himself. Along the way he's picked up with Simon Ovrannaz ([[Diego
Then one day, Largo's life is changed forever when he learns that Nerio Winch ([[David Carradine]]), the step-father he barely knew, is dead.
