Introduction

President Mariano De Santis reflects on his past as he grapples with the next chapter of his life. Mourning the loss of his wife, he lives an isolated existence within the grand presidential palace, finding solace in his confidante and listening to hip hop. Thoughtfully exploring power, love and one’s legacy, Sorrentino brings his grand vision and customary flare to this compelling chamber drama.
