'come lontano' is a perverse historical romance in which 2 lives are inter-mixed, doused with sentiment, and hopefully redeemed. The work revolves around an unlikely couple - Pier Paolo Pasolini and Maria Callas. There is also an ambiguous villain, Pasolini's Alfa Romeo sports car in which he famously cruised for street trade and which was used to murder and mutilate him. The film is based largely on found materials: footage from Pasolini's 1969 'Medea' (starring Callas) and photographic sources: books, paparazzi photos, etc. 'come lontano is in four sections, each with its own discrete qualities.
