Drama


PLOT : Writer, poet, playwright, journalist, soldier, and patriot, Gabriele D’Annunzio was the man Mussolini was inspired by in the process of building the Italian Fascist Movement. Our story starts with D’Annunzio in exile at the end of his life, determined to fight against the fascist oppression and to not give up his freedom of thought. Even though he accepts honours and appointments from Mussolini, the Duce fears him and sends a young Italian federal to watch over the ‘evil poet’. Yet the poet, even in old age and tired, hasn't lost his seductive skills. Will he charm the young soldier to the point of making him question himself and his faith in Fascism?
