Plot Synopsis
Biography, composition technique and the logic there is behind actions and choices are presented through the reflected light of the contemporaries of the Renaissance great polyphonist, who comment or simply remember strinking events: members of Roman clergy, princes, musicians, some of his previous pupils, his relatives and a modern kapellmeister in present Rome the director chose to shoot while working with his singers. Precious interventions to contextualize the artist and his work among great contradictions and ideal, artistic, social and religious tensions. [translated by A.I.A.F. archive's office]
