In Venice, during the Carnival, history is never as fixed as it seems.
Folco has always felt trapped in a life too small for his dreams. Hungry for recognition and obsessed with the flow of time, he is convinced that the present can rewrite the past. An eccentric event organizer offers him the role of King James II of England and Scotland for an opulent historical reenactment in a palace of the Serenissima.
What begins as a lavish game of masks and ceremony soon turns into a clash of egos, secrets, and ambitions. Alongside a mismatched troupe of companions - part gifted, part hopelessly inept - Folco navigates a week of indulgence, intrigue, and emotional upheavals leading up to Mardi Gras.
But when truth cuts through the glitter of the festivities, alliances shift, plans collapse, and the dream of glory threatens to dissolve into something far more dangerous. Between the winding calli and the hidden courtyards of Venice, the stage is set for a final dance where not everyone will remain in the story.
A rich blend of historical atmosphere, sharp irony, and the timeless game between illusion and reality.
