Private Project

The Lost Poet

Dante escape from his daily life, his bourgeois wife and his job as a clerk to be a street poet. He prints his collection of poems and tries to sell them to the people he meets on the Roman coast. But people aren't interested in buying poetry books at all. To survive away from home he is forced to sell pills nicknamed "cannibal pills" which cause aggression, celebrity delusions and consumerism and devastating effects on those who ingest them. The pills sell easily and he earns money, but his ethical conscience disagrees.
