What is the nature of the bond that united, for a large part of their lives, two great creators who at first glance seemed very different: the Belgian writer Georges Simenon and the Italian filmmaker Federico Fellini? It is precisely the apparent paradox of this friendship that caught Marina Geat's attention. Starting from an exchange of letters that spanned thirty years, the author's investigation expands to several aspects of the two artists' personalities, the vicissitudes of their personal lives, and their deep fantasies, highlighting affinities, complicities, complementarities, and unexpected solidarities. The result is the description of a fruitful dialogue, which develops on several levels, in their imagination as well as in their professional collaboration.
