The Stuff of Dreams
Directed by Gianfranco Cabiddu
Produced by PACO Cinematografica, White Pictures
A picaresque theatrical comedy where criminals and actors collide on an island prison, discovering shared humanity through performance and unexpected connection.
Members of the Camorra on the run and actors seeking for authority meet after a shipwreck on an island-prison. The theatre turns into a free zone where everyone may not be able to recover their social role but for sure their humanity. Somebody can even get love back. Shakespeare and Eduardo De Filippo blend together in a picaresque comedy full of coup de théâtre.
