On 12 September 1919, the poet Gabriele D’Annunzio led 300 men in the occupation of Fiume, a surreal siege that lasted 16 months and produced over 10,000 images. A hundred years later, filmmaker Igor Bezinović, a native of Rijeka, recreates the episode with hundreds of citizens in a radical cinematic performance. Blending fact and myth, it dissects propaganda, manipulation, and political spectacle, exposing the performative - and absurd - power of nationalism.
