2009
MovieDocumentary
Haroldo Conti tells the story of himself. Through his literary stories, his voice rescued from archives, the fictional recreation of his anecdotes, and his characters, the film tells us about a man and his work. It is Haroldo Conti himself, that man who travels, a "homo viator," as he defined himself in the Latin he taught in schools, who guides us in this film through all his worlds: that of ideas, that of creation, that of affections. In all of them, one constant: a profound love for humanity and for life. Haroldo Conti, Homo Viator, knew how to live with intensity and conviction. But, above all, with joy.
