In 1958 Angelo, a rich and spoiled boy, enters a religious school, where students are tired of its vice-rector, and the strict rules and old-fashioned teaching methods of priests. Soon, Angelo exerts strong leadership among his peers and incites turmoil among them, helped by intellectual Franco and shy Camma. They expel the prefect from the school, organize a Grand Guignol show, and disappear the corpse of an old professor.

VIBE

This film feels like a fever dream of rebellious youth clashing with rigid institutions. Expect a wild, darkly funny ride through adolescent anarchy, where faith and absurdity collide in a visually chaotic, unforgettable spectacle.
