Set in the late 1960s, in a period of struggles and riots, this film by Sydney Sibilia (former director of the successful trilogy "I can stop when I want"), produced by Matteo Rovere tells the true story of the Isola delle Rose.

The young Giorgio Rosa (masterfully played as always by Elio Germano) is a recent engineering graduate, just left by his girlfriend Gabriella (Matilda De Angelis) and in a constant state of struggle against the society of the time. One fine day, above all to demonstrate to his now ex, he decides to take it easy and creates an independent island, yes a beautiful island off the coast of Rimini and outside Italian territorial waters.

And he does it at night, he builds it from scratch and not only that, this island will have a language, a currency, and he will try to obtain official recognition that will take him all the way to Strasbourg.

In a short time it will become a real tourist destination and it will start to be quite uncomfortable for the institutions.

This is the plot in summary, an incredible well-constructed story, to which, however, it must be said that some parts are obviously very fictionalized.

There are numerous awards, very good Matilda De Angelis and Fabrizio Bentivoglio, in the cast among others also Luca Zingaretti, Christian Ginepro and Leonardo Lidi.

A 🆅🅾🆃🅾 7 to this beautiful film, currently available on the Netflix platform, which leaves a beautiful message for those who still have the desire to change something in this society.
