In the middle of a lecture on Sisyphus and the absurd, a philosophy professor faces an absurdity of his own: blood. The unexpected sight forces him out of the abstract and into the visceral, prompting a reckoning with the fragile machinery of his body, the weight of memory, and the uneasy passage of time. From awkward encounters with his tennis rivals to a candid reexamination of his own philosophies, The Candyfloss Mussolini unfolds as a darkly comic, painfully intimate journey through mortality, self-deception, and the eternal quest for meaning in a universe that refuses to provide it.
