Andrea e Junior, padre e figlio adolescente, sono continuamente in attrito, le loro schermaglie e le profonde incomprensioni segnano quotidianamente il loro rapporto.
E’ il modello del nonno Ettore, detenuto in carcere, ad affascinare il ragazzo che rimprovera al proprio padre di essere un debole nei fatti della vita. Eppure sono proprio le vicissitudini giudiziarie di Ettore ad aver minato gravemente la serenità e il benessere familiare che la madre del ragazzo e la nonna tentano, al di là delle differenti vedute, di superare per mantenere unita la famiglia. Un viaggio sospeso tra presente e passato, sogno e realtà, sarà l’occasione per un confronto finalmente aperto e l’inizio di un graduale riavvicinamento.

The unbridled life and kaleidoscopic filmography of Piero Vivarelli, who made Italian B- movies of all genres, wrote hit rock songs and penned the screenplay for Sergio Corbucci’s Western “Django,” adored by Quentin Tarantino, are intertwined in a portrait of an unsung postwar pop culture maverick, provocateur and revolutionary (the only non- Cuban besides Che Guevara to be given a Cuban Communist Party card signed by Fidel Castro).
