Piero is a 24-year-old boy from
Manduria, a small town in the province of Taranto. Back from a 2
year-long military service in Bosnia, he decides to have his dream come
true, regardless of people's skepticism: he wants to show the world the
emotions he gets listening to his favorite group: the Queen. Piero has
grown a moustache like Freddie Mercury and has founded a cover band, the
WhiteQueen, and plays in many venues of his town.
"Piero is a fan of the English pop band and lives in a small town in the
South of Italy. The theme of the film is the cultural relationship
between the center and the outskirts, the capillarity and the influence
of this pop culture in the real world. Making a film about Piero, we
celebrate the funny choice of a man, but we do it trying to stick to his
universe. We hope to succeed in representing at its best this small
story as a crossing of greater and more complex tendencies." (L.
Filotico)
