  　　Mussolini's new town, Sabaudia, has a decadent atmosphere, with Elio Germano and his brother Marico (Riccardo Scamarcio) living together in the remnants of brick buildings. Eschio was an anachronistic rebel who joined the neo-fascist MSI party despite the opposition of his parents and brothers. And Marico is a left-winger. The film shows the social background of the town at that time through the political conflicts between the two brothers, thus reflecting the political and social status quo at that time. The film also reproduces the social trauma and life style of Italy in the sixties and seventies of the twentieth century.　　The elder brother, who is like a dazzling star, flashes on the leftist stage with a charm that makes supporters swoon; The male protagonist who originally escaped to study in the seminary gave up the opportunity to contact God under the 'toss' of the star photos brought by his brother with bad intentions. Through the changes in brothers, lovers, and family relationships, the film profiles the history of Italy in the past two decades. The script is written by the same person as "Splendid Times", but the length is a little more streamlined, and the passion and twists are still the original intention.
