In this black comedy, a struggling actor-playwright goes on tour with a play he wrote for himself and his lover. It is about the life and love between Benito Mussolini and Claretta Petracci, his mistress.

To get them to stop, the actor changes their minds by placing emphasis on the romance between the two rather than the politics. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi
