Paolo Graziost with Daniela Surina Pierluigi Apra China is Near (the Maoist slogan painted on walls and posters throughout Italy) is a hilarious and ironic satire on contemporary Italian society.
As a protest against his provincial Italian middle-class family, Camillo has joined a Maoist group. The encounters of his highly conventional brother and sister with certain working-class elements provide some political - as well as romantic - complications.
