Three acrobats, remnants of a failed circus troop, roam the central towns of the Italian province with a small show. Seeing as there are no animals available, they themselves play the parts of the missing beasts. In order to survive they even accept to play the “Three Kings” in a live nativity scene, having received the job offer from a parish priest from a small town where babies are no longer born. At this point between drinks and mystic crises, they definitively fall into the role of the Three Kings, following the same comet that, in their illusion, will guide them to the Messiah that will rid the world of injustice. An old project by Citti often put aside, born from Pier Paolo Pasolini?s inspiration and written by the journalist David Grieco, “We free kings” is a type of comic-grotesque odyssey projected onto the backdrop of a disappearing Italy contrasted with a modern, technological and cynical one. Moments of genuine poetry and candid moralism that only Citti?s honesty seen today can allow.
