Andrei Tarkovsky and screenwriter Tonino Guerra journey across Italy in preparation for "Nostalghia." Their location scouting unfolds into a wide-ranging conversation about filmmaking, artistic simplicity, and cultural identity, with Tarkovsky articulating his creative philosophy while confronting the emotional weight of working far from his homeland.
