In a sordid account of mutual charity, an alcoholic doctor tries to make a captive heroin addict kick her self-destructive behavior — and vice-versa.
A young man whose father's fortune was stolen by his closest friends sets out to get revenge in this odyssey through the world's major financial centers.
One of the key factors in Italian unification was the overthrow in 1860 of Francesco, the King of Naples and the two Sicilies, who went into elegant but impoverished exile in Rome with his Queen, Maria Sofia. This seriocomic drama follows the deposed royals as they adapt to their new lives. The former king has recognized the political finality of his deposition, but his queen has taken to traveling in men's clothing all over Italy trying to foment an uprising to restore them to the throne. She is also frantic to have a baby, an heir, but the king has become celibate as a kind of homage to his beloved mother; he spends all his time lobbying the Vatican to get her declared a saint.
