Toni Servillo acting as Giulio Andreotti

A documentary film on the life of one of the most controversial Italian politicians: Giulio Andreotti. MP since 1948 of the Italian Parliament, 7 times prime minister.

He represents the political class more close to the values of the Church and the Americans, especially during the Cold War when the Italian Communist Party becomes stronger and stronger.
