A group of students from Milan, Italy decide to rebel against their principal, a strict and rigid man.

Preparando-se para interpretar Lucio Fulci numa biografia, Nicola investiga a vida do cultuado diretor italiano, entrevistando sua família, colaboradores e pesquisadores de sua obra - tendo acesso a relatos e materiais inéditos.

Girlfriend in a Coma is a documentary that exposes the dire situation of Italian politics and the process of economic and social decline the country has suffered during the last two decades, treating the decline as a warning of what might happen elsewhere in the West. The decline has occurred amid a collapse of moral values and the victory of “Mala Italia” over “Buona Italia”. It has been lauded as being ground-breaking in its creative combination of animation, interviews and hard facts, and has caused fierce controversy in Italy.
