The Red Carnation

Two men and a woman are in the midst of an existential crisis. We meet them through their stories. The woman works in a small ballroom dancing group, while the men are a painter who has been in prison and an unfulfilled filmmaker. The glimmer of hope that emerges at a certain point is the desire to make a short film. But everything is destined to fail.

The film is set in the period of fascism and is represented through the story of the general inspector Vincenzo Trani.

A film of Enrico Berlinguer's funeral in Rome, briefly tracing his career as leader of the Italian Communist Party.
