Synopsis : In a time span of almost forty years, from the end of 1970 to the first 2000 a considerable number of things happen. For the man with the camera, however, it is different. That man in this film is Enrico Ghezzi, the most brilliant and influential author of Italian television and cinema critics. This film is an autobiographical mosaic, which consists of encounters with the directors who matter to him, the films he loves, and the private home-videos of being a father. How to find life in cinema and to discover cinema in life? Humanity may be living its last days, but it needs such a film in order not to forget how to recognize beauty.
