This docufilm is not only the story of the artistic life of Carlo Di Palma, director of photography, but also a veritable journey into Italian cinema through more than 100 films on which he collaborated — from the neorealism of Visconti, De Sica, and Rossellini — to the masterpieces that marked the history of world cinema, including "Deserto Rosso" and "Blow Up" by Michelangelo Antonioni, and Carlo Di Palma's long collaboration with Woody Allen.
Anecdotes, reflections and commentary by prestigious figures of world cinema such as Bernardo Bertolucci, Woody Allen, Wim Wenders, Volker Schlondorf and Ken Loach, accompany us on this fascinating voyage infused with the colours and vision of an Italian cinema that will remain forever in the annals of world cinema and the films of the great contemporary genius, Woody Allen.
