Giovanni
It is the end of World War I and the young Italian soldiers are making their way back to San Giovanni Rotondo, a land of poverty, with a tradition of violence and submission to the iron-clad rule of the church and its wealthy landowners. Families are desperate, the men are broken, albeit victorious. Padre Pio also arrives, at a remote Capuchin monastery, to begin his ministry, evoking an aura of charisma, saintliness and epic visions of Jesus, Mary and the Devil himself. The eve of the first free elections in Italy sets the stage for a massacre with a metaphorical dimension: an apocalyptic event that changes the course of history.

Feast Party Queen
La noche del 2 de noviembre de 1975, Pier Paolo Pasolini es asesinado en Roma. El director era el símbolo del arte revolucionario que lucha contra el poder. Sus escritos eran escandalosos; sus películas, perseguidas por los censores. Era tan amado como odiado. Ese día, Pasolini había pasado sus últimas horas con su madre y con sus amigos; por la noche se lanzó a la calle en busca de aventuras. Al amanecer, su cadáver fue hallado en una playa de Ostia, en las afueras de la ciudad. (FILMAFFINITY)
