When Celine returns from a holiday in Mexico, she is faced with a little problem. A certain
Bartleby welcomes her and other guests with open arms to... HER home? To HIS home?
Celine is about to enter a bizarre world full of strange people, but more importantly, an apartment

home, when everything seems to prove the contrary?

ROMAN CITIZEN
Director: Luca Elmi / Italy / 2015 / 40 min / English
One summer morning. A morning like many others in a city like any other. Suddenly the
sound of gunshots echoes through the buildings. A bank is under attack. Hostages are taken.
Trying to solve a situation whose cruelty is as unusual as unexplained, two policemen -
one approaching the end of her career, and the other consumed by a passion for ancient
Rome - will face what seems to be an impossible answer.
