Content
Set in Italy of 2012, a young homosexual baker-by night and would-be actor by day settles into a spooky apartment where he soon discover the undead ghosts of a theater group dying in this apartment during the second world war.
After unsuccessfully trying to expel the ghosts from his apartment he gradually accepts them into his life and even let them advise him for his career as an actor.
With the help of the citys outsiders of transvestites he is even able to solve the mystery of the death of the artist group, who had connection during the war with groups of the resistance and was ultimately betrayed by one of its member.
The young man, while not successful as an actor, is able to confront the surviving member of the theater group with its betrayal and thus gaining the liberty for the ghosts to leave the location of their death. With the help of his internet connected computer he is even able to give a Turkish couple of the artist group peace of mind as he can show them with pictures that their -during the war evacuated son- made it successfully to Istanbul to grow up, open a pharmacy, have children and live happily.
