The Distinguished Citizen

Reading between the lines, the film examines in a cynical, humorous tone a series of themes, from small town conformism to a writer’s responsibilities and the double edged sword of fame. The hero, a Nobel Laureate writer, decides to return to the small town he was born in after 30 years abroad in order to receive the town’s most prestigious recognition. Upon arrival to the town he uses as the setting for all his stories, he will discover that the people there will not be as easy to handle as the characters in his books.
