The true life of Antonio H.
Antonio Hutter (Haber’s alter ego) is on a stage and recalls his life dominated by his only great wish:to be an actor. So he tells about his childhood in Israel, his youth in Verona, his first roles in Franco Rossi’s Eneide Taviani’s Sotto il segno dello scorpione, his encounter with Orson Welles (never happened in reality), a role in Bertolucci’s Il Conformista, later cut in the editing room his love story with Giuliana DeSio and a phone call (a fake one) for a role in Scorsese’s Raging Bull. Now Antonio is on the brink of suicide:he’s alone on the stage, there is no audience….but suddenly he gets a phone call from Hollywood.
