The Prince of Ostia Bronx (Italy)

by Raffaele Passerini

Warning: This film is designed for those people who have failed at least once in their lives. Dario, the Prince, and Maury, the Countess, are actors rejected by theatre and cinema. The gay nudist beach of Capocotta becomes their imaginary stage. Here, the Prince and the Countess are free to be the absolute protagonists of their improvised sketches, a magical and safe place, where life mixes with art and creativity becomes an antidote to an absent audience.
