SYNOPSIS
Right in the center of Rome, immediately after second World War, Otello’s restaurant became the meeting point of a group of young directors and screenwriters. Among those very tables they would conceive some of the most beautiful pages of “Neorealism” and “Commedia all’italiana”. “Otello’s secret” celebrates that particular season of cinema through the personal recollections of the artists who have contributed to Otello’s international fame with their own special craft. Actors, directors and writers from the international scene would also visit the restaurant. Brando, Peck, Hepburn, De Niro, Coppola, and the french Trintignant, Carrière, Chabrol, Vadim, Bardot and many more could often be seen eating at Otello’s while working in Rome.
