Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Walter Veltroni is better known as former Mayor of Rome and leader of Italy's Democratic Party—this is his first fiction film at age 68.
The film deliberately mirrors Berlusconi's Italy: Giovanni sleeps through the media tycoon's entire political reign, waking to a country he doesn't recognize.
