They agitate in crowded lecture halls, historical buildings, corridors and libraries of the phantasmagorical 'Faculty of Sociology of Dead Languages' of an imaginary Italian university that wants at all costs to climb the rankings of the world's universities in order to win more funding. Every day they come up against an army of students from all over Italy, some will stay for the years it takes to finish their studies, others will remain bogged down for many years. Students and professors are forced to share, in a comic game of forced relationships, toilets, classrooms, corridors, time, life plans, aspirations and nightmares. The stories and desires of the protagonists will not come true and the University instead of reaching the top of the ranking will plummet to the bottom. ""Universitas tenebrarum"" is a series of short episodes with an immediate, acidic comedy that plunges the viewer into a ramshackle and ridiculous world. Written by Mammut Film See less
