Rome is considered by many to be the most beautiful city in the world. But who knows the hidden Rome, the secret archives of the Vatican, or the true fate of Pasolini? Christina Höfferer is on the trail of all this and tells the story of a city full of passionate people, fervent in their actions and in their love for Rome. During her walks, she encounters a woman picking lemons from the street, enjoys her coffee in traditional cafés, learns about the significance of Studio 5 for Federico Fellini, chats with the neighbor of Ingeborg Bachmann, and spends an entire day in the microcosm around the Bridge of Lovers. Always in search of the extraordinary in the everyday, a vibrant picture of the ever-pulsating Eternal City emerges.
