The documentary traces the key stages in the career of Milanese director and actor Maurizio Nichetti, following his return behind the camera with his recent film AmicheMai, his first after twenty years without directing. Through archive material, clips from his films, and personal accounts, the film tells the story of an artist capable of revolutionizing the language of cinema with irony, innovative techniques, and a touch of surrealism.
