Mariano De Santis (Toni Servillo) is the President of the Italian Republic. A widower and a Catholic, he has a daughter, Dorotea (Anna Ferzetti), a legal scholar like himself. As his term draws to a close, amid uneventful days, two final duties arise: deciding on two delicate petitions for a presidential pardon. True moral dilemmas, which become tangled with his private life, in ways that seem impossible to unravel. Driven by doubt, he will have to decide. And, with a deep sense of responsibility, that is exactly what this remarkable Italian President will do.
After the screening, conversation with the actor Toni Servillo, Winner of the Volpi Cup for Best Male Actor at the 2025 Venice Film Festival, moderated by journalist Anthony D’Alessandro.
