Plot
editIn July 2006, the major television news channels reported the death of Leonardo Zuliani. In Rome, a large group of followers gathers in front of the young activist's birthplace in Trastevere. The mother is desperate, the neighborhood paralyzed and all the authorities express their solidarity with the family while a large demonstration is held in her honor.
An important detail is that what makes Leonardo a national hero is his being anti-Semitic.
