GRANO AMARO

A documentary by Cyril Bérard and Samuel Picas – 52 min
Predappio, birthplace of Mussolini. The electoral campaign for the 2019 municipal elections is in full swing. As the former mayor can no longer run for re-election, two amateur candidates will face each other.

But local issues are very soon engulfed by the great question of Mussolini’s heritage: should the dictator’s tomb be managed as a tourist attraction or as an opportunity to confront the fascist period historically and culturally?

The wave of consensus in favor of Matteo Salvini's League largely serves the right-wing candidate. After 74 years of reign, the left is collapsing.

Grano Amaro retells from the inside this historical and symbolic shift.
