Luigi Tenco

"Marx peut attendre" était quelque chose que Camillo Bellocchio a dit à son jumeau Marco la dernière fois qu'ils se sont rencontrés avant que le premier ne meure à un jeune âge dans les jours chauds de 1968. Ce documentaire est dédié à sa mémoire.

But fate brings together Giuliano, the only man who did not ask for anything and who - like her - is not inclined to compromise.
