Il mezzano

An epic and investigation into the complex relationship between the "black market" and the government, not knowing where one begins and the other ends. Also about how the nation's discourse can blind and legitimize the filthiest practices that can exist. The quixotic figure of the protagonist, bordering on the romantic, demonstrates a stereotype of a distorted nationalism at the same time that he is the reflection of a person who was deceived and betrayed by the very State he defended, showing (perhaps) that in the world the structure of power does not he cares about principles, but only about pragmatic measures to achieve his plans for power. The protagonist represents the man who believes he is a fascist, but who is just a puppet of the real fascist, who can throw him in the trash at any time. Without limiting the relationship between man and nation, crime and state with a fine line, we also see layers of criticism of imperialism and economic forms of domination of countries.
