SUnknownSandi Toksvig, Writer & Broadcaster

A tribute to the imagination. An irreverent portrait. The narrative of the life and career of Gian Carlo Fusco ( one of the most interesting and unusual personalities of the twentieth century in Italy). Journalist, novelist, script-writer for films, actor and protagonist of the national artistic scene spanning the 50s and 60s. Fusco has been totally slighted and given the cold shoulder, even forgotten and ignored by official critics although praised to the skies by all those who met him in the literary salons of Italy, hailing him as the greatest narrator of all times. He died prematurely in 1984.

Shamira Raphaela (30) travels the world as a TV director. Her life is in sharp contrast with that of her father and brother, who are both in and out of jail. In this intimate family portrait, we enter the chaotic and colorful world of Shamira's father Pempy, a drug dealing addict, and her brother Andy, who's following in his fathers footsteps. They both counter their seemingly desperate lives with lots of resilience and humor. Simultaneously, it's impossible for Shamira to remain unaffected by the vicious circle trapping her father and brother. A film about destructive family patterns and unconditional love.
