The Seduction of Mimi

He's been a husband, a lover, a cuckold and a Communist. Now he just wants to be free.

A darkly comic Italian satire about a working-class man caught between personal desire and political consequence, juggling infidelity, mafia threats, and ideological conflict.

Sicilian dockworker Mimi inadvertently becomes embroiled in an increasingly complicated array of personal conflicts. When he loses his job after voting against a Mafia kingpin in an allegedly secret election, Mimi leaves his wife to find new employment. He moves to Turin, where he engages in an affair with a Communist organiser. Soon, Mimi finds himself juggling two demanding relationships while plotting revenge against the corrupt forces that ruined his life.
