Hammamet is a 2020 Italian biographical drama co-written and directed by Gianni Amelio, based on the last years of life of Bettino Craxi (1934–2000), a controversial Italian politician who was the Secretary of the Italian Socialist Party, served as Prime Minister during the 1980s and later fled to Tunisia to avoid legal prosecution on corruption charges during the Mani Pulite scandal. Craxi is portrayed by Pierfrancesco Favino.

The film was released shortly before the 20th anniversary of Craxi's death, which occurred on 19 January 2000 in the Tunisian town of Hammamet, where he had lived since 1994 to avoid serving a 27-years in jail sentence because of his corruption crimes.

Plot

During the late 1990s, after escaping from Italy to avoid imprisonment, the old and ill Bettino Craxi is spending his last days with his wife and daughter in his villa in Hammamet, Tunisia. His new life as a fallen leader and as a fugitive is now dedicated to meeting family members, old friends and obscure figures from his past.
