Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Companion piece to Jovanotti's 1997 seventh studio album 'Lorenzo 1997: L'albero'. “The movie tells a story starting from the end, when the long-awaited L'ALBERO is finally done and we realize we made the PERFECT, DEFINITIVE RECORD! But a lightning destroys the hard disk it was stored on, there's no backup and we have the record company knocking at the door for the master tapes. My band and I then agree to the only possible thing: to redo the album in a very short time by facing an initiatory, esoteric, ramshackle, crazy, mystical, chivalrous, demented journey from which the album we all know will emerge, which is not the PERFECT RECORD... but comes from that idea.” — Jovanotti

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
