Bien que né dans une famille bourgeoisie et conventionnelle, Mario décide très jeune de vivre sa vie comme il l’entend. Dans une société conservatrice qui n’accepte pas la différence, il va devoir se battre pour exister et faire entendre sa voix. A force de combat, Mario finit par intégrer un petit cercle fermé d’artistes et devient vite une figure emblématique du panorama culturel italien : à la fois activiste, intellectuel, écrivain, interprète, provocateur, à une époque où l’homosexualité etait encore synonyme de trouble mental. Si ses combats parviennent à faire évoluer les mentalités de la société, sa vie personnelle est marquée par une histoire d’amour intense avec le futur écrivain Umberto Pasti.

Inspired by the biblical story "The Golden Calf", the film evokes the history of this cult: a false divinity, a mask placed on the face of the true god by the idolatry of the people.

A private detective investigates her sister's suicide 16 years earlier.

A docu-fiction focusing on writer Pier Vittorio Tondelli who died in 1991 at the age of 36, due to AIDS. Tondelli is known not only for being one of Europe’s greatest storytellers but also for being one of the sharpest voices of his time. He was the writer of Other Libertines, his first work and a cult novel among young people of the 80s, subject to seizure in L’Aquila for obscenity and outrage against the public morals of the time. Yet, Tondelli’s novel was not only a transgressive writing but also a literary project that allowed the linguistic mixing of registers, sectors and even dialectisms. The film sets out in search of the places where the writer had the opportunity to live, starting from Correggio, where he was born, up to Bologna, the aforementioned L’Aquila, and then Orvieto, on which his second novel focuses, to continue with Rome, Milan, and Berlin.
