Rome, 1968: at the pinnacle of his artistic career, the artist Pino Pascali was just over thirty years old when he died in a motorcycle accident. Fifty years later, the Pascali Museum at Polignano a Mare, in Apulia, Pino's land of origin, buys and exhibits his work Cinque Bachi da Setola e un Bozzolo. Through photographs taken by Pino Musi and Pino Pascali, the story of a work of art returning to its origins is the opportunity to reflect on Pascali, in a narrative dimension in which space and time bend and disappear.

Declaration
film director
“In the darkness in which a film is created, music, images, and sounds dialogue with each other: an open exploration with infinite possibilities for research and beauty. I encountered Pascali in this profound space, illuminated by the tutelary spirits of Rimbaud, Chris Marker, and Alain Resnais; and in collaboration with Pino Musi and Pascali himself: the photographs they took are essential to the story's construction, their gazes overlap in a continuous cross-reference between the present and the past.”
