The film is a biographical documentary about Antonello Neri, a pianist and composer from l’Aquila who has been working since the 1970s. The reconstruction of his work and life is given through archive material, stories from the artist himself and many of his colleagues. Amongst them are famous artists such as Ennio Morricone Giorgio Battistelli, Giovanni Piazza, Luca Lombardi, Luigi Cinque, Rossella Or and Simone Carella. Accounts are given of Antonello’s teaching, his collaboration with the improvisation group Nuova Consonanza, the interdisciplinary experiences of the ‘Beat 72’ Theatre and ‘Teatro degli Artisti’ and his most recent projects. Throughout the course of the film, with Antonello as a starting point, a period of cultural liveliness and excitement in Italy is relived and looked at in depth.
