"Mussolini: Son of the Century" recounts the political rise of Mussolini (Luca Marinelli) and his creation: fascism. First a movement, then a party that Mussolini leads to the apex of Italian government, only to subvert democracy and establish a dictatorship. Through contemporary language - Mussolini breaks the fourth wall and addresses us directly to reveal his most unspeakable thoughts and comment on the turning points of history - the series offers an original, 'pop' portrait, at times full of dark humour, of the man who - though he betrayed ideals, people and institutions and committed acts of unprecedented violence - made all of Italy fall in love with him and became its undisputed Duce.
