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)
