Rocco de Rosa

Based on the life and times of the poet Dante Alighieri.

Ferruccio Castronuovo was the only authorized eye, between 1976 and 1986, to film the brilliant Italian filmmaker Federico Fellini (1920-1993) in his personal and creative intimacy, to capture the gears of his great circus, his fantastic lies and his crazy inventions.

When love blossoms between a young Italian woman and an African student, her family’s disapproval — and a secret — threatens to tear the lovers apart.
