Leoluca Orlando

Fin (Campino) dünyaca ünlü bir fotoğrafçıdır. Çok az uyuyan ve sürekli müzik dinlediği için kulağından hiç çıkarmadığı ve onsuz bir yere gitmediği kulaklığı ile yaşayan Fin bir süre sonra alt üst olmuş hayatının anlamsızlığını fark ederek her şeyi arkada bırakıp uzaklaşmak ister. Düsseldorf'tan ayrılıp, Palermo'ya gider. Ancak burada onu, yeni bir hayata ve büyük bir aşka götürecek, bir hesaplaşma ve gerilim dolu günler beklemektedir.

Palermo is home to a gigantic theater building: the Teatro Massimo - the largest theater in the world. The writer Isidor Gondlowitz sets off from his home country, Switzerland, to write a book about this impressive place. Although the theater is intact and playable, it is not being used. Gondlowitz tries out all the roles on and behind the stage and begins to lose himself more and more in the huge building and in acting.

The film follows the former mayor of Palermo for several weeks as he goes about his daily activities against the mafia.

World in Action was Granada Television’s flagship ITV current affairs series, running from 7 Jan 1963 to 7 Dec 1998, and built a reputation for film-led investigative reporting and a forceful editorial stance. Its journalism produced major public and political repercussions—including investigations associated with miscarriages of justice such as the Birmingham Six—and it also served as a platform for landmark documentary projects, including the first broadcast of “Seven Up!” as part of the strand in 1964.
