Milo Manara (1945) revolutionized the comic book world, liberating female desire through the protagonists of his illustrations. His career was marked by his encounter with Hugo Pratt, his mentor and companion in adventure, and by his exploration of the power of sex as a political act, culminating in the publication of Il Gioco. His partnership with Federico Fellini redefined the boundaries between eroticism, cinema, and comics, and his unmistakable style made him a point of reference for entire generations. On the occasion of Manara’s 80th birthday, Valentina Zanella’s documentary celebrates this protagonist of Italian culture by recounting his work, life, and passions, and calling on an extraordinary group of friends, colleagues, and admirers to celebrate him.
