Israeli Premiere!

A biographical drama unfolding the story of Enrico Berlinquer, Secretary of the Italian Communist Party and one of the most influential political figures in the West during the 1970s. The film describes his struggle for his ideals in the face of political upheavals, internal pressures and personal conflicts, while highlighting the constant tension between ideology and reality. He survived an assassination attempt and witnessed the killing of his ally, Italian Prime Minister Aldo Moro – a traumatic event in Italy’s sociopolitical history. His visits to Moscow and multiple appearances in the global media demonstrate his centrality in the international scene, but also emphasize the gap between his public image and the personal copings and heavy prices involved in leadership. This is a portrait of a man who wanted to change the world, but had to acknowledge his limitations.
