***Not recommended for children under 16 years of age.***
Jep Gambardella, writer and journalist, is a central figure in Roman social life. Despite being considered a talented writer, he wrote only one book, that too 40 years ago. Instead of writing, Jep puts most of his energy into attending social events for the top ten thousand, parties and parties that last until dawn. In essence, he lives at night and hardly does anything during the day.
After Jep's 65th birthday, he thinks more and more about the uselessness of his life, sometimes with irony, sometimes resignedly, he thinks about himself and the social elite of which he is a part. He continues to party, but in the meantime he travels around Rome. She mostly meets old and new acquaintances to find the “great beauty” behind all the chatter and noise.

Bem Cinema
In January 2016, the 108-year-old Bem Cinema will reopen its doors to the public, in a new way never seen before in Hungary: as a cinema of cult and classic films (no harm!), or as the educated French say (if you know your English): as a "repertory cinema".
