House of Gucci

In 1978, Patrizia Reggiani, a charming young Italian woman, works as an office manager in her father's trucking business. This modest job defines her early life, but her aspirations reach far beyond her current situation.

Patrizia crosses paths with Maurizio Gucci, a law student and heir to the Gucci fashion legacy. Their meeting sparks a romantic relationship, fueled by Patrizia's persistence in charming the socially awkward Maurizio.

Maurizio's father, Rodolfo, expresses concern over Patrizia's intentions, suspecting her interest in his wealth. He warns Maurizio that marrying her could result in severing ties with the Gucci fortune, but love ultimately prevails.

The couple's wedding marks a new beginning for both, leading Maurizio to join the Reggiani trucking business. As Patrizia becomes pregnant, she views their child as a potential bridge to strengthen family bonds.

Patrizia shares her pregnancy news with Maurizio's Uncle Aldo, who welcomes them into the Gucci empire. He introduces Patrizia to the inner workings of the business, igniting her passion for the world of high fashion.

During a birthday celebration in New York, Patrizia observes the exciting potential of the Japanese market through Aldo's business dealings. This experience further fuels her ambitions within the Gucci brand.

As Maurizio reconnects with his terminally ill father, Rodolfo drafts a will reinstating his son in the Gucci legacy. However, a critical oversight regarding a signed transfer leads Patrizia to forge Rodolfo's signature.

Patrizia's ambition escalates as she plots against Aldo and Paolo to increase her stake in the company. She confronts Aldo over counterfeit products flooding the market, only to discover his intention to make Gucci more mainstream.

Feeling underused, Paolo collects evidence against Aldo regarding tax evasion, leveraging it for the chance to become a designer for Gucci. This act of betrayal sets off a chain of events that culminates in familial strife.

Faced with the turmoil at home, Maurizio escapes to Switzerland with his family, seeking solace and reconnection with an old acquaintance, Paola Franchi. Meanwhile, his relationship with Patrizia deteriorates, leading him to contemplate divorce.

A significant deal involving Investcorp emerges as Maurizio strives to maintain Gucci's reputation amid escalating conflicts. This deal signals a strategic pivot for the future of the brand, complicating family dynamics.

Following Aldo's release from prison, he uncovers the betrayal by Maurizio, leading to heightened tensions within the Gucci family. The fight for control of the brand intensifies as personal loyalties clash.

In a tragic culmination of ambition and betrayal, Patrizia hires hit-men to execute Maurizio in broad daylight. This drastic action changes the course of their lives forever, marking the ultimate betrayal.

As the dust settles, Aldo succumbs to cancer in 1990, and the aftermath of betrayal catches up with Patrizia, Pina, and the hired assassins, resulting in lengthy prison sentences for their roles in Maurizio's death.

Despite the chaos caused by personal vendettas, Gucci thrives under Investcorp without any family ties. The film concludes by highlighting the dark side of ambition and the cost of betrayal in the glamorous fashion industry.
