A young student prepares his degree thesis on Pasolini and Bologna by investigating the relationship of the great intellectual with the city of his childhood and his studies. Following in the footsteps left by Pasolini in Bologna, the protagonist will tell, for the first time in the form of a documentary and with a rock narrative rhythm, the emotional, visceral but also controversial bond of Pasolini with Bologna until his final days, also characterized by severe criticisms of the “consumerist and communist” city, a symbolic terrain of the adverse social and economic metamorphosis from paleoindustrial to neo-capitalist society.
Exemplary in its town planning and administration, Bologna has been transformed into a city that is avant-garde, both socially and culturally, yet still preserves its historical roots.

Bologna is a bizarre place. However, outside is barbarism. The old city is besieged by a new savannah. Homeless, nomads, tourists, dropouts are only the vanguard of a new citizenship. The ancestors of future kings. This film is a back portrait, an out-of-focus, night-time appearance. We will carefully avoid showing great monuments, famous people and facts of proven historical significance. Instead It’s a portrait that goes for minor fragments, anonymous citizens, intruders. Lies.
