What Lord of the Ants Is About

In Italy at the end of the nineteen sixties, the poet, playwright and myrmecologist Aldo Braibanti is prosecuted and sent to prison over his relationship with Ettore, his pupil and friend. Around the courtroom stand accusers, defenders and a largely hypocritical public, and the only person trying to assemble the truth is a journalist working against censorship and suspicion. Gianni Amelio takes a real case and shows that the question was never morality but what authority the state had to enter a private life. Luigi Lo Cascio and Elio Germano star.
