It was made in 1993 by RTVE of Spain, Rai Due of Italy, Microfilm, and the Kirch Company.
Mussolini arrives in a small town in 1901 and gets a job as a school teacher; he is subsequently fired for having sex with the headmaster's daughter.
After giving up on teaching, he works as a builder on the new University of Geneva campus building, and where a lover persuades him to become a student.
At this point Mussolini unites the "reds," the Socialists, with the "yellows," the Republicans in an anti-war movement.
However, he gradually loses his anti-war fervor and splits from the Socialist party altogether, turning all his allies into enemies.
