A sort of testament of the Italian singer Francesco Guccini. Movie is basically a documentary about the recording of his latest album, "L'Ultima Thule." In addition to the pieces that make up the album, you can watch some scenes of everyday life of the singer, as well as some stories about his childhood and his career. Several interviews with his musicians enrich the film, some very poignant and moving, which imply all the hope that Guccini does not shrink from public life: very sad it's the prayer of Ellade Bandini, the drummer, who says: "Francesco, we lose a couple pounds and go back to play, we are not yet so old!". Also there are several meetings with important guests, including the rock star Luciano Ligabue and successful director Leonardo Pieraccioni. The end is the saddest part of the whole movie: Guccini together with his musicians are waiting for a picture: that one of his grandparents, the cover of his most famous album, "Radici". While the others wait softening the atmosphere, he is there looking the camera with no fixed semblance of a smile. A fair documentary, definitely very touching for those who know Guccini and his story but that I consider interesting for everyone, as well as the full streaming of the pieces that make up the album.
