Lord of the Ants

Il signore delle formiche

Also known as Ο άρχοντας των μυρμηγκιών, Władca mrówek, Повелитель муравьёв, 개미 대왕, The Lord of the Ants

Based on true events of the late 60s in Italy, poet, playwright and myrmecologist Aldo Braibanti is prosecuted and sentenced to prison for the love he shares with his barely-of-age pupil and friend, Ettore. Amidst a chorus of voices of accusers, supporters and a largely hypocritical public, a single committed journalist takes on the task of piecing together the truth, between secrecy and desire, facing suspicion and censorship in the process.
