A unique chance to explore Pier Paolo Pasolini's youth through the voice and the body of his direct cousin, writer and poet Nico Naldini.
For Pasolini, Rome is neither just a simple setting or a place to live. Rome had a physical, carnal and passionate existence for the man and the poet.
Pier Paolo Pasolini sets out to interview Italians about sex, apparently their least favorite thing to talk about in public: he asks children if they know where babies come from; asks old and young women if they support gender equality; asks both sexes if a woman's virginity still matters, what do they think of homosexuality, if divorce should be legal, or if they support the recent abolition of brothels. He interviews blue-collar workers, intellectuals, college students, rural farmers, the bourgeoisie, and every other kind of people, painting a vivid portrait of a rapidly-industrializing Italy, hanging between modernity and tradition — toward both of which Pasolini shows equal distrust.
