Synopsis
This film… is it or is it not about Clorindo Testa? And if it isn’t, then what is it about? Is it about the director’s life, about his father’s life, about his country’s life? Or could it be just one of those biopics that proliferate in film festivals, in which the narrator keeps telling old family stories and pulling old pictures from within a box. It is between these threats —and some even worse— that this tiny, microscopic adventure navigates, a film that could be subtitled, stealing from the Savoyard Xavier de Maistre, as “Voyage autour de mon père”.
