DESCRIPTION

In the gritty Collinwood neighborhood of Cleveland, Ohio, a group of small-time criminals finds their lives intertwined by the promise of a "Bellini"—a legendary, high-stakes heist targeting a jewelry shylock’s safe. The plan originates with Cosimo, a petty thief currently behind bars, who seeks a "Mullinski" to take the fall for his crimes in exchange for a payout. He recruits Pero, a man drowning in financial desperation, to assemble a crew capable of pulling off the job. Pero gathers an unlikely team of associates: Riley, a young father struggling to care for his family; Leon, who is desperate to fund his sister’s wedding; and Toto, an older man looking for a way out of his circumstances. Together, they enlist the expertise of Jerzy, a retired safecracker, to master the "circular-saw method." However, the group’s ambition is quickly met with a series of mishaps, personal entanglements, and the constant, suspicious gaze of Sergeant Babitch. As Pero becomes distracted by an infatuation with a local maid, the crew’s lack of experience and mounting bad luck threaten to unravel their entire operation. *Welcome to Collinwood* is a dark, character-driven exploration of greed and the futility of criminal ambition. As the pressure mounts and the police close in, the crew must navigate a chaotic path where the line between a life-changing score and total ruin becomes razor-thin.
