The documentary aims to tell the story of a director who managed to capture the attention of the whole world and, due to his political and aesthetic coherence, was able to work much less than he deserved. It's the story of a film professor who earned the gratitude and affection of all his students. The tale of a cinephile who successfully combined social and civic commitment with a spectacular talent worthy of Hollywood.
