He's been a husband, a lover, a cuckold and a Communist. Now he just wants to be free.

Comedy

Voting against the Mafia in what he thinks is a secret ballot costs Sicilian laborer Mimi his livelihood. He leaves his wife, flees to Turin and romances a Communist organizer - but he just can’t shake the Mafia. When they lure Mimi back to Sicily with a better job, he must keep his lover – and love child – under wraps. That’s when his wife announces she’s pregnant.

VIBE

A wild, politically charged romp through 1970s Italy. Expect a whirlwind of sexual hijinks, social commentary, and escalating absurdity. It’s loud, proud, and unapologetically over-the-top, with a communist firebrand and a scheming wife at its core.
