A Blackshirt’s conversion to communism is the subject of tesaay, which aims to follow the personal and political fate of Danilo Ferretti, a restless spirit of fascist Italy. Intensely anti-bourgeois and anti-capitalist, Ferretti pursued politics as revolution, and wanted to build totalitarian popular democracy. His choice to turn his back on fascism and favor the opposite camp, communism, was determined by the Second World War.
