In 2008, Le Macabre, a small Italian CBGB's, closed its doors. Like the famous New York club, it was a hub for rock music in the 1980s and 1990s, but was located in Bra, in the sleepy Italian province. Diaframma, Marlene Kuntz, Vinicio Capossela, Nico, C.C.C.P., and many others performed on its stage. Through its protagonists, the film tells the story of the birth of a music movement that wanted to shake off the myth of singer-songwriting. It is the story of the Busso family who created and ran it, but also that of a generation that found an identity in music.
