Description
In the aftermath of World War I, Italian poet Gabriele D’Annunzio led an unauthorized invasion of the small coastal city of Fiume, kicking off a 16 month occupation. This fascinating historical footnote is the leaping off point for a lively, inventive hybrid documentary that restages D’Annunzio’s siege with an amateur cast on the present day streets of what is now Rijeka, Croatia. Winner of the top prize at the 2025 Rotterdam Film Festival.
