“MANY ARTISTS ARE DAZZLED BY CELEBRITY, A CURSE THAT CAN BE FATAL.”
Mr. America is an auteur thriller that takes inspiration from the story of David Solanas, to represent the negative spiral of many artists, dazzled by the temporary celebrity that brought Andy Warhol, the curse that for some was fatal. The film develops on three distinct temporal planes that intertwine swirlingly to form a canvas of past, present and future. The brutal and obsessive acts that were committed in Penny's childhood generate a ruinous family relationship that will be the focus of the story.

Ivan, a drifting immigrant in search of work and dignity, lands on an Italian island only to be met with cruelty and betrayal. Just as hope fades, he finds refuge with Martina—a silent soul who tends bees—and Father Enzo, a gruff priest with a generous heart buried beneath bitterness and stroke. As Ivan becomes part of their fragile household, he brings light to Enzo’s dark days and slowly earns Martina’s trust. But in a town wary of outsiders and family tensions simmering over land and legacy, harmony is hard-won.
