Mindemic is a 2022 Italian psychological comedy drama film directed by Giovanni Basso in his directorial debut. It was in competition at the 2023 David di Donatello Awards. The film was nominated for three Golden Ciak, including Best Emerging Director, Best Lead Actor and Best Playbill. ==Plot== Nino, a retired seventy-year-old director, is tasked by his longtime producer, Fredo, to craft a new screenplay. Accepting the challenge, he types away on his cherished typewriter, inspired to create an epic war tale. Seeking aid, he reaches out to past collaborators: screenwriter De Paoli, who declines, and actor Giovanni Marino, who rejects the offered role. Lost in his creative fervor, Nino stages his script in his apartment, playing every part himself—a band of soldiers rescuing a mysterious woman in a vague war. Nino also receives a visit from a woman, a prostitute identical to his ex-wife Angela, who left him years before and with whom he's still in love. As he writes, Nino slips into a delirium where memories of Angela and his colleagues blur with his film’s plot, muddling reality and illusion. When Angela tells him he’s dead and his world unreal, Nino persists, finishing his script with a warped conclusion. On his apartment’s terrace—never once departed—he stands with her, accepting his fate hand in hand. ==Cast== Giorgio Colangeli as Nino Rosanna Gentili as Angela Roberto Andreucci as De Paoli Paolo Gasparini as Giovanni Marino Claudio Alfredo Alfonsi as Fredo Rossella Gardini as Lucia ==Soundtrack== As indicated in the film's credits, the soundtrack is composed entirely by the music that the Italian composer Teo Usuelli created for the 1968 film La Rivoluzione Sessuale by Riccardo Ghione, published by Universal Music Group. ==Awards and nominations==
