  Italy, a very near future. Berlusconi is out of fashion. There is a new dictator, and he has the face of the philosopher Slavoj Zizek. Everything seems under control, thanks to the work of the ''Identifier'' to whom good citizens report suspicious and subversive people - the so-called Clowns. One day the Identifier makes a mistake with bad consequences. The only woman he cares about is now in danger. The identifier is going to open his eyes on the cruel side of the Leader. Too late? ''Ridi, Pagliaccio'' is a neo(sur)realist view on contemporary Italy. A political satire that takes no prisoners.
