  “The Nineties had a pretty bad start”, this is how Vincent Dieutre introduces us to the shadows of his personal universe in those years going through Utrecht, Naples and Rome.

  Orlando ferito Roland blessé
  Roland Wounded

  France 2013 121'
  Directed by: Vincent Dieutre Montaggio/Editing: Dominique Auvray
  In 1975, Pasolini bitterly proclaimed the extinction of fireflies, symbolizing the pure and uncorrupt people, due to the birth of a new fascism originating the cultural and political death of the western world. After almost forty years, Dieutre lands in a Sicily marked by mafia, marginalities, homosexuality seen as a shame and the stories of migrants approaching Lampedusa and he will find right there a chance of survival and social reorganization. He will discover that fireflies have not already disappeared.

  The Eighties.

An intimate and detailed diary of sexual meetings where there is no place for feelings and weaknesses are fought back with alcohol and drugs.
