这不是一部普通的纪录片，而是透过意大利电影大师费德里克．费里尼独特的艺术家眼光为罗马古都写出来的一篇个人回忆录。全片打破传统叙事手法，以现实与超现实场面交叉穿梭进行，渗入了大量的幻觉和回忆，充分表现出费德里克．费里尼个人对罗马的爱恋，也让观众看到了这个城市隐蔽着的另一面。男星彼得．龚扎莱斯在片中饰演年轻时代的费德里克．费里尼，而费德里克．费里尼则演出他自己，在片中可以看到马戏团对费氏作品根深蒂固的影响。也可以从中揣摩出费尼电影风格的一些基本特质，喜爱他的影迷不容错过。

该片讲述卢卡斯前往智利南部的一个偏远小镇探望他的妹妹。在海雾前，他遇到了当地渔船上的船长安东尼奥。当他们之间的情感越来越强烈时，他们的力量、独立性与成年期，在浪潮面前就变得不可动摇。

　　Scared of life and lacking the courage to be himself, Ludovico lives hidden away in his grandmother's old apartment. One night, the wickedness of the world goes to visit him in the form of Jack, a boy who is Ludovico's age but has the opposite character: hard, determined, perhaps criminal. The forced cohabitation of two human beings who couldn't seem more different from one another turns into an initiation rite to adulthood, the discovery of their true and respective personalities. And when the harsh reality that is mercilessly stalking them appears to present the bill, they will have to face it, bolstered by a new awareness and unhoped-for courage.
