1943 Nazi Rome: Matilde, Cencio, Fulvio and Mario are members of a circus family where they work as “freaks”. Israel, the circus owner, disappears while looking for an escape route for everybody across the sea. Without someone to take care for them and without the circus, the four friends feel lost in the war-torn city, not knowing what to do.
Freaks Out Freaks Out
“You will meet unusual creatures, capable of unforgettable and astonishing deeds! Nothing is as it seems...” These words spoken in the introductory scene by the ringmaster of an obscure but wonderful WWII Roman circus, could easily be used to announce the film – an entertaining tribute to diversity and a powerful kick to fascism of all shapes.
directed by Gabriele Mainetti, cast Aurora Giovinazzo, Claudio Santamaria, Pietro Castellitto, Giancarlo Martini, Giorgio Tirabassi, Max Mazzotta, Franz Rogowski

On 12 September 1919, a troop of some three hundred soldiers under the leadership of the flamboyant war-loving Italian poet Gabriele D’Annunzio swooped into the Northern-Adriatic port town of Fiume, now Rijeka, wanting to annex the city to Italy. Over the course of the next 16 months, during what is regarded as one of the most bizarre militant sieges of all time his official photography team captured over 10,000 images. A century later, Igor Bezinović orchestrates a direct-action history lesson focused on the siege and its modern-day implications.

An honest, warm, and surprisingly funny film about how to live with something you can never truly get over. A Sundance Festival sensation, winner of the Best Screenplay award there, and considered one of the best films of the year by numerous critics.
