Synopsis

Freely inspired by real events. —

However, the characters in the film are the result of the authors’ imagination

Reality is a starting point, not a destination.

SICILY, IN THE EARLY 2000S.

After several years in prison for collusion with the mafia, Catello, a seasoned politician, lost everything. When the Italian secret service asks for his help to capture his godson Matteo, the last mafia leader on the run, Catello takes the opportunity to get back in the saddle. A cunning man with a hundred masks, a tireless illusionist who transforms truth into a lie and lies into truth, Catello begins an unlikely and singular correspondence with the fugitive, seeking to take advantage of his emotional void. A bet that, with one of the most wanted criminals in the world, carries a certain risk…
