The intense journey of Piero Bargellini through techniques and aesthetics forces Adriano Apr` to declare: "Bargellini's cinema is a research of energy and fire. In each film he gets gradually closer to fire, a progressive 'focus'". With Apr` we discover the life of a filmmaker from Arezzo and the itinerary that brought him from a small province to the utopian glamour of Roman Off Cinema of the 60s. Director Paolo Brunatto and poet Valentino Zeichen let themselves be taken by Apr` through a sidereal and oracular space, that Bargellini used to observe very accurately and to absorb its erotic atmosphere and the call of consumer society.
