From Oscar-winning director Alex Gibney (Taxi to the Dark Side, Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room) and producer Graydon Carter (Surfwise, The Kid Stays in the Picture) comes a probing look into the uncanny life of national treasure and gonzo journalism inventor Dr. Hunter S. Thompson. A fast moving, wildly entertaining documentary with an iconic soundtrack, the film addresses the major touchstones in Thompson's life—his intense and ill fated relationship with the Hell's Angels, his near-successful bid for the office of sheriff in Aspen in 1970, the notorious story behind the landmark Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, his deep involvement in Senator George McGovern's 1972 presidential campaign, and much more.

Two people at the end of the road discover that it's never too late to love or to dream. Elsa (China Zorrilla) is 82-years-old and for the past 60 years she's dreamt of a moment that Fellini had already envisaged: the scene from La Dolce Vita at the Fontana di Trevi.

Disturbed and confused after losing his wife, the slightly younger Alfredo (Manuel Alexandre) moves into a smaller apartment where he meets Elsa. From that moment on, everything changes.

Fred surrenders to Elsa's frenzy, to her youth, to her boldness, to her beautiful madness. And this is how he learns how to live. Directed and co-written by Marcos Carnevale. Official Web Site
