Synopsis
This beautifully crafted period piece takes the legendary playwright Luigi Pirandello’s (Toni Servillo) trip to Sicily as its inspiration. It imagines the improbable meeting between the playwright and a couple of Sicilian gravediggers/aspiring actors.
In 1921, future Literature Nobel Prize Winner Luigi Pirandello returns to his beloved Sicily. Upon his arrival, unexpected news catapult him into a universe populated by incredible personalities, ghostly visions, distant memories and melancholy apparitions.
This journey will allow him to confront a nostalgic past, propelling him toward the creation of his masterpiece, “Six Characters in Search of an Author” an eternal work of art which will mark a worldwide revolution in twentieth-century theater.
