Fresh
[A] wildly funny and daringly loopy self-questioning regarding identity and political progress.
Richard Brody, New Yorker
Overview
Michele is an MP for the Italian Communist Party who loses his memory in a car crash, though hardly anyone around him seems to notice. During a crucial water polo match on the eve of election day, he gradually begins to remember his past life, revealing a man whose personal and political identity crisis mirrors that of Italian communism itself.
