The movie is inspired by the biography of triestine journalist Almerigo Grilz (Francesco Centorame). Albatross is the independent news agency that he founded with two friends.
The movie follows the friendship between two young men with opposite political views. Giancarlo Giannini plays Vito, a fictional character, in the present days.
Amerigo will become a war reporter and will die in 1987 in Mozambique at 34, while filming his own death. Vito, instead, will get ahead in the media industry.
