Sinossi

1990s. A radio station run by the local power publicly denigrates people who do not align themselves with the hateful provincial conformism. When Mariaelena suffers the harassment of the Colora Fustinaja (that’s the name of the radio: whipping snake), three reckless friends followed by an elderly ex-alcoholic poet decide to oppose this situation (Falamus literally means “let’s go down” but the more appropriate translation is “let’s fight” or “let’s rise up”).
