Inspirado en una novela del norteamericano Stephen Amidon, originalmente ambientada en Connecticut, el film habla de un mundo de una clase pudiente, con mansiones fastuosas y repletas de personal de servicio, dominado por un especulador creador de un fondo que promete un 40 por ciento de interés anual atrayendo y esquilmando a los crédulos inversores. El personaje es un digno "representante de esa criminalidad financiera que, como ocurrió en la crisis de 2008, puede llegar a destruir la economía de naciones enteras o por lo menos a despojar a los ingenuos de todos sus bienes", declaró Virzì.

What Do You Know About Me
Self
Until the 1970s, Italian cinema dominated the international scene, even competing with Hollywood. Then, in just a few years, came its rapid decline, the flight of our greatest producers, a crisis among the best writer-directors, the collapse of production. But what are the true causes and circumstances of this decline? In an attempt to provide an answer to this question, Di Me Cosa Ne Sai strives to depict this great cultural change. Begun as a loving examination of Italian cinema, the film transformed into a docu-drama that alternates between interviews with the great names of the past and fragments of cultural and political life of the last 30 years. It is a travel diary that shows Italy from north to south, through movie theatres; television-addicted kids; Berlusconi and Fellini; shopping centers; TV news editors; stories of impassioned film exhibitors and directors who fight for their films; and interviews with itinerant projectionists and great European directors.
