Rustam Casanova (2014)

Our man is an opera singer with an athletic physique, a faraway gaze and something of a nineteenth century romantic air. He is a larger than life character with a thousand masks. He constantly travels between different continents, without a fixed abode or bank account. Sometimes a gigolo, sometimes a father and a family man, he considers himself an artist above all else. In Tajikistan he is a great artist of the people, in Italy he is known as an aspiring opera singer with an exotic Persian charm, in China as Sergio, the Italian artist. The film tells the story of this man and his solitude, which is paradoxically crowded with a host of women, children, singing teachers and his creditors.
