Gianfranco Baruchello is an artist who cannot be classified in an artistic movement. He is a painter, sculptor, writer, filmmaker, intellectual, entrepreneur and more. He was a protagonist of the cultural and political protest of the avant-gardes of the 1960s and 1970s, but his life is the testimony of a mental freedom that perhaps will never exist again. The film about him is a great recovery operation: his family, his knowledge of Duchamp, the memories of Toni Negri, the fragments of his numerous films and videos, trying to recreate synesthesia and short circuits in the reuse of materials and thoughts, belonging to different eras and contexts.
