La Balena di Rossellini origins from one of the most beautiful Roberto Rossellini's dreams, an exemplary project for his autorial path. The film conceived, but never realized, by Rossellini took shape in his notes after a trip to Chile conducted in May of 1971, a trip made to conduct an interview-portrait of Salvador Allende, then actually carried out by the director of "Rome, Open City". October 28, 1971: Rossellini, back from Santiago, Chile, reads a newspaper reports of a beached whale on the Pacific coast near a poor village inhabited by fishermen. From this simple news comes a film script for a fable about wealth and poverty. A film whose shooting Rossellini would have been entrusted to the young student Claudio Bondì, just graduated from the Experimental Center of Cinematography.

A man approaches in a car from the garage of a house, gets out of the car, and stops in front of the house. As if he were a fool, he tries to open the garage, but fails because he does not have the keys. This provokes some laughter from the audience, given the man's awkward and confused attitude. Suddenly, the screen experiences technical difficulties and the entire scene disappears into complete darkness, until signs protesting against cuts to culture appear.
