After years of disappointment and economic difficulties, Riccardo launches a career as a television documentary filmmaker. In the subsequent years, Riccardo repeatedly tries to pursue his directing career, but finds the doors to the world of cinema barred. Riccardo’s refusal causes a progressive and damaging rift. The reason for the clash is Federico’s demand for Riccardo to not use the Fellini name in the film credits. Riccardo nonetheless aims to debut, returning as a director and the event is realized in the early sixties with the creation of “ Stories On The Sand” Storie sulla sabbia, a film that is coolly received at the Venice Film Festival in 1963 and that will be the origin that tears the two brothers apart. The film is a great success that launches Federico’s career and finally paths the way to Riccardo’s return to being an actor. It’s Federico in the early fifties, now having become a director, who offers his brother the opportunity to return to the set giving him a starring role in the film “ The Idler” I vitelloni.

While Federico’s career burns brightly, he quickly forges ahead to become one of the leading writers of Italian neorealism: Riccardo is forced, due to an ill-fated marriage, to quickly drop his film career. However, in Rome’s newborn Cinecittà they both come into contact with film: one as a writer and the other as an actor. Federico yearns to become a journalist while Riccardo wants to become a singer. They grew up in fascist Italy and got tired of a closed reality lacking opportunities, so as soon as they could, they left for Rome in pursuit of their dreams.
