The Young Fan
2018, Italian. Directed by Gian Alfonso Pacinotti.
In 1997, cartoonist Gipi was just starting his career when he received a letter from a fifteen-year-old fan who, expressing his love for his drawings and stories, asked only for a dedication that read "To Francesco." In 2017, Gipi discovered that this person had done the same thing to many other cartoonists over the course of twenty years, writing the same letter over and over again, always declaring his fifteenth birthday, expressing the same love for each recipient, and asking the same thing of each. With three friends, he then decided to search for the boy.
