NRThe "1968" movement in Italy and around the world represents an extremely complex and nuanced event. The curator attempts to unravel some of the main threads of an intricate web of events, figures, processes, and cultures. From the first signs of the new youth movement in 1966 to 1969, the narrative unfolds non-chronologically, exploring emotion as well as historical reconstruction.

8.0Pier Paolo Pasolini's voice introduces a monologue featuring Carlo, the poet's alter ego, set in a desert space with an almost lunar appearance: an expanse of sand under a starry sky. The man stages a sort of erotic liturgy bordering on self-destructive anxiety: he will offer himself to twenty hustler street boys, before a spectacular sunset, which recalls the strong colors of Sirk or Kazan melodramas, puts an end to the whole affair.
