In gran segreto – Un racconto familiare su Giorgio Bassani

Writer, essayist and intellectual of twentieth-century Italy, Giorgio Bassani lived through the conflicts of his time and gave voice to them in his works. Through the eyes of his children, Paola and Enrico, the film unfolds a dual journey: a physical one across the cities and places that shaped Bassani’s life and work, and an inner one into the intimate terrain of a father-child relationship, culminating in a late but necessary reconciliation. Scholars and friends such as Paolo Di Paolo, Eraldo Affinati, Nadia Terranova, Fulco Pratesi, and Gabriele Lavia bring depth and perspective to the portrait of a man whose cultural legacy continues to resonate today.
