Spoilers ahead

The narrative unfolds in the year 1907, where we find Ida Dalser captivated by a powerful speech delivered by the youthful journalist and fervent socialist, Benito Mussolini. Their connection ignites a passionate and tumultuous romance that soon engulfs both their lives. Initially, Mussolini is against Italy’s participation in the mounting tensions of the European Great War, but he experiences a dramatic shift in perspective that leads him to embrace a new role in the political landscape. This transition results in his expulsion from the Socialist Party, paving the way for a radical new ideology that will evolve into fascism.
