A man flees to a strange, cold world. Warmed by furs and fires, sheltered by a cave, he is a broken man who wants to be alone. But not even isolation brings him peace. Embarking on another journey into the self, he explores his dreams, memories, and visions. His otherworldly encounters are marked by languages he doesn’t speak, captivating bodies, and love soon lost. Yet even in his dance with demons, something flares up again and again: light.

Pasolini

One day, one life. Rome, the night of November 2nd 1975, the great Italian poet and filmmaker Pier Paolo Pasolini is murdered. Pasolini is the symbol of an art that’s fighting against the power. His writings are scandalous, his films are persecuted by the censors, many people love him and many hate him. In a film both dreamlike and visionary, a blend of reality and imagination, Abel Ferrara reconstructs the last day in the life of this great poet.
