The Illusion poster

1860. Giuseppe Garibaldi began from Quarto the adventure of the Thousand surrounded by the enthusiasm of the young idealists who had come from all regions of Italy, and with his loyal group of officers, among whom a new profile stands out. Having landed in Sicily, at Marsala, the Thousand begin fighting with the Bourbon army, whose numerical preponderance is immediately evident. Under these conditions, it appears almost impossible for the general to breach the enemy defense and penetrate Palermo. But when he is almost forced to retreat, Garibaldi devises an ingenious plan.

In an alternation of stories from the past and present of Marco Mazzoli, radio DJ and creator of Lo Zoo di 105 (one of the most followed radio programs in Italy), we relive what symbolizes the great adventure of life: an adventure made of victories but also of many bitternesses and defeats. Episodes of lost and then found loves, friendships that began and then ended, betrayals, thefts, dismissals, complaints and many humiliations follow one another, but in the end, they lead to the fulfillment of a dream, what everyone seeks: their own personal fulfillment.

Nicola's mother suffered from mental illness, and when young Nicola grew old enough to understand some of her stranger behavior as well as the family's other dark secrets, a few of the adults around him preferred to suggest he was disturbed like his mother, and he was encouraged to visit an asylum not far from his home. As an adult, Nicola has spent enough time around people who have a tenuous connection with reality that he has a superficial resemblance to them, and has developed a strange set of imaginary friends to go along with his eccentric real-life companions and the woman he loves from afar, Marinella.
