Like the novel, the series will tell the story of a country that surrendered to dictatorship and the story of a man who was able to be reborn many times from its ashes. It is 1919, and the Great War that has ravaged Europe is over. In Italy, the people are exhausted. Tired of the political class. Tired of vague promises, inept moderates, and the agonizing machinations of a democracy that has failed ordinary citizens. While elite leaders have sat idly by, achieving nothing, one outsider-the director of a small opposition newspaper and a tireless political agitator-is electrifying the masses, promising hope for a demoralized nation hungry for change. A former socialist leader ousted by his own party, he is a drifter who knows what it is to feel lost. His voice speaks for the misfits and the outcasts; he is a protector of those who are forgotten. He is Benito Mussolini. And soon Italy-and the world-will be forever remade. Based on the novel by Antonio Scurati.

Andrea Fanti loses the memory of his last twelve years of life due to brain trauma and, for the first time, he finds himself no longer the brilliant and authoritative doctor ever but a simple patient. Without memories, man falls into an unknown world where his loved ones have suddenly become strangers and the hospital is the only place where he really feels at home. Inspired by the story of Dr. Pier Dante Piccioni.

In an industrial building on the outskirts of town, Police Commissioner Cagliostro (Lino Guanciale) takes in the scene before him: a man lies dead on the floor. In his ten-year career he's seen nothing quite like this. For the dead man is him - he is staring at his own murder scene. A vision of the future stops Cagliostro from exiting this world - he must stay to find his killer, because it is the only way to save the life of his wife, Anna (Gabriella Pession). With the help of Vanessa (Valentina Romani), a seventeen-year-old who discovers she is clairvoyant, Cagliostro embarks on his unusual investigation - can he sort his friends from his enemies before his premonition comes true, and, at the same time, remedy the mistakes he made while alive?

A 10-episode limited series inspired by the film, will follow an all-new "true crime" story. The series will follow a new case and new characters, all entrenched in the trademark humor, murder and "Minnesota nice" that has made the film an enduring classic.
