Cartapesta: Carnival of Fano – The Movie
90 mins
Italy’s oldest Carnival, memories, footages, a very powerful imagery rooted over the centuries in one city: Fano.

A character, named Vulón, encountering a child. He doesn’t know anything about the Carnival of Fano. No one better than a Carnival mask to walk him around through parades, costumes and sweets and to tell him that after all, Carnival is more than a simple celebration: it’s a feeling, a state of mind that warms the heart of a city and of the territory around.
