November 1975. In a lost and corrupted Italy, where fear of truth and passion reigns, Pier Paolo Pasolini who is finishing his masterpiece Salò, denounces and attacks ceaselessly his country’s politicians, writing furious articles, eventually putting his life on the line. In a dreamlike and visionnary film, a blend of reality and imagination, Abel Ferrara reconstructs the last day in the life of this great poet, with his frequent collaborator Willem Dafoe as Pier Paolo Pasolini.
