From the award-winning director of Gomorrah comes a fascinating and disturbing tale about the lure of celebrity culture. Luciano (Aniello Arena) is a Neapolitan fishmonger who supplements his modest income by pulling off little scams together with his wife Maria (Loredana Simioli). A likeable entertaining guy Luciano never misses an opportunity to perform for his customers and countless relatives. One day his family urge him to try out for a reality TV show. As his perception of reality begins to change Luciano plunges into a self-delusional fantasy that threatens to destroy his relationship with his loved ones. Set in contemporary Naples with a beautiful score by Alexandre Desplat (The King's Speech Argo A Prophet) this modern cinematic fairytale proves yet again why Matteo Garrone is one of Italy's most exciting and versatile filmmakers.
