Alan Burlesque is a very important politician. His power is great and unchallenged. Nobody can stop him. Nobody, except a mysterious black woman in burka. She’s a very dangerous presence in Alan’s life, and she menaces to destroy him. The movie shows Italy in the last 20 years. Not only in political aspects, but especially also in the psychological evolution of the society. It goes without saying that Italy is the cradle of the opera, the corruption and the mafia. Burqa tells a story in a thriller-like atmosphere about a political leader without scruples, but with ambition and a large libido. A Shakespearian drama, a psychological comedy and a political satire meet in a remarkable film, which will have its world première at the HAFF.
