Freaks Out
Rome, 1943: Matilde, Cencio, Fulvio and Mario live like siblings in
Israel’s circus. When Israel mysteriously disappears, perhaps in flight or perhaps captured by the Nazis, the four “circus
freaks” are left alone in the occupied city. But someone has set their eyes on them, with a plan that could change their destinies...
and the course of history. FREAKS OUT stems from a challenge: that of setting against the background of the darkest episode
of the 20th century a film that would be at once an adventure story, a Bildungsroman and—not least—a reflection on diversity.
