Plot Summary

Shooting Silvio is the story of a young rich, outlandish orphan who has lost all his reference points and decides to kill Silvio Berlusconi. For Kurtz – as everybody calls him – killing the Prime Minister becomes a reason for life, the sense of his future. So he works out a plan, finds an accomplice, gets some weapons, and prepares his old car for an action force. He actually manages to kidnap the Premier and move away with him to accomplish his murder plot. However, while driving away with Berlusconi, Kurtz seems to realise that murder is not the solution to the problem, and understands that killing is always wrong, no matter what. But it is too late now, he has gone too far and can’t go back. So he puts an end to his adventure in the only possible way.
