citizen kane

Considered one of the most important films ever made, and a work that changed the language of cinema.


The story begins with the death of a wealthy media tycoon, who utters a mysterious word with his last breath: Rosebud.A journalist sets out to uncover its meaning, meeting people from Kane’s life along the way.


Through their testimonies and memories, Kane’s life unfolds from childhood to his meteoric rise as a powerful newspaper magnate, tracing the relationships and choices that shaped him. Each account reveals a different version of the man, forming a complex portrait of someone both powerful and deeply alone.


Gradually, a story emerges about ambition, power, and loss, and the gap between public image and private reality. There is no single truth, only a mosaic of memories that attempt to piece together an ultimately unknowable man.
