China Is Near (Italian: La Cina è vicina) is a 1967 Italian drama film written and directed by Marco Bellocchio. It is a satirical movie about the struggle for political power.

Synopsis
A pair of working class lovers - a secretary and an accountant - scheme to marry into the rich landed gentry. Their targets are a professor, Vittorio Gordini Malvezzi (Glauco Mauri), who is running for municipal office as a Socialist candidate, and his sister Elena (Elda Tattoli), a great lady who lets every man in town climb on top of her but won't marry because she's afraid they are just after her money. Vittorio doesn't get what is going on. Their little brother Camillo, a seventeen-year-old seminary student turned Maoist, provides the title of the film when he scrawls 'China is Near' on the walls of the Socialist Party building, his brother's campaign headquarters.Actors

The movie relates the story of Ida Dalser, who fell in love with the future Italian Fascist leader, Benito Mussolini, supported him while he was unemployed in the early 1910s, and married him, presumably around 1914. She bore Mussolini a son, Benito Albino, before the outbreak of World War I. The two lost touch during the war years and, upon discovering him again in a hospital during the war, she also discovered Rachele Guidi, who had married Mussolini in 1915, and a daughter born in 1910 when Guidi and Mussolini were living together.
