Burqa

Alan Burlesque is a government leader with seemingly unlimited power. His life is divided between politics, business, and sex. Nothing seems capable of undermining the solidity of his kingdom, and all his enemies are destined to mysteriously disappear. All except one! In fact, despite his enormous strength, Alan is powerless against a mysterious and shadowy woman in a burqa, who slowly enters his life, dangerously threatening him. Who really is this woman with seemingly supernatural powers? And what does she really want from Alan?

Directed by Marco Pavone, Burqa leans on a strong ensemble — Mauro Gravina, Antonella Giannini, Mino Caprio — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about animation titles of 2015.
