Diapason (2001)

Two stories run on parallel lines in a nocturnal Rome. Marcello is an easygoing sixty-five year old film producer trying to convince a beautiful actress to accept a part in a film. The other protagonist is a group of petty criminals and illegal immigrants who pass the night stealing, taking drugs, having sex and drinking. Marcello talks about his past experience of working with Fellini and Mastroianni during the wonderful years of the “Dolce Vita» and this is in strong contrast to the city as experienced by the immigrants.
