Lucio Dalla (1943-2012) was a beloved pop star and the composer of the immensely popular song "Caruso," which has been covered by such iconic vocalists as Mina Mazzini, Lara Fabian, and Luciano Pavarotti. Dalla was known for his songs of protest, written in support of the 1970s Italian socialist movement. Although he enjoyed international success, he preserved his free soul and critical attitude toward his home country. The film focuses on the man who kept challenging rather than remaining complacent by bringing the interviews with his childhood friends and the testimony of Tobia Righi, the singer’s friend and manager. In addition, through the archival footage and the song lyrics, the film provides its audience with a bitter portrait of Italian modern history that is fueled by consumerism, severed from the farming culture that was destroyed during the World War II.
