A tribute to the imagination. An irreverent portrait. The narrative of the life and career of Gian Carlo Fusco – one of the most interesting and unusal personalities of the twentieth century  in Italy. Journalist, novelist, script-writer for films, actor and protagonist of the national artistic scene spanning the 50’s and 60’s. Fusco has been totally “slighted” and given the cold shoulder, even forgotten and ignored by official critics although praised to the skies by all those who met him in the literary salons of Italy, hailing him as the greatest narrator of all times. He died prematurely in 1984.  A man divided in a personal “puzzle” that is really difficult to reconstruct – a man who lived a double life suspended between the worlds of literature and Cinema, that of night-lfe and the underworld, of fantasy and reality, scandal and poetry.
