SYNOPSIS
In the heart of Rome, overlooking St Peter’s, stands a palace. The owner, like a Renaissance patron, over the years offers asylum to an eclectic community of friends who turn every corner into a permanent film set. Mauro, the most charismatic of the group, directs the condominiums in a visionary film, gradually isolating himself from the outside world until he no longer leaves the Palazzo. At the moment of his untimely death, the group of friends reunites, called upon to receive as a legacy the thousands of filmed hours of the unfinished masterpiece in which they all took part. A bequest that shakes the group’s slumbering spirit and confronts each of them with their youthful dreams, in a tragicomic coming-of-age novel.
