 Antonio Hutter (Haber s alter ego) is on a stage and recalls his life dominated by his only great wish:to be an actor. So he tells about his childhood in Israel, his youth in Verona, his first roles in Franco Rossi s Eneide Taviani s Sotto il segno dello scorpione, his encounter with Orson Welles (never happened in reality), a role in Bertolucci s Il Conformista, later cut in the editing room his love story with Giuliana DeSio and a phone call (a fake one) for a role in Scorsese s Raging Bull. Now Antonio is on the brink of suicide:he s alone on the stage, there is no audience....but suddenly he gets a phone call from Hollywood.
