»Giamatti’s performance even outclasses the one he gave in Sideways. Nostalgic, funny, moving and thought-provoking, this may well qualify, in a career not short of outstanding achievements, as its director’s finest and most immersive film yet.«

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.
