Dario Argento is one of the most acclaimed Italian directors in the world, revered as if he were a rock star. At the same time, however, he is a person who has always protected his private life. This documentary breaks that taboo and delves into the most intimate aspects of his life and career, uncovering personal documents and photographs that, until now, had been jealously guarded.

The adventurous life of a provincial playboy catapulted into the glories of the Dolce Vita. A portrait of the lesser-known Fernando Di Leo through the words of family, friends and actors: from his childhood and adolescence in Foggia to his arrival in Rome, from his cinematic successes to the solitude of his final years.
