Director's note

I had wanted to make a documentary about Rino Gaetano for a long time. I met him in 1978, when he was on holiday at a resort where I was DJing. He asked me to play reggae records, we became friends, and he later gave me a demo of the English version of Gianna (Gina). I wanted to comprehensively recount Rino fully immersed in the events of the 1970s, to listen to him on his radio shows and at his concerts, to discover his musical passions, for Pino Daniele, Bob Marley and Jannacci, whom Rino says he saw at the Derby Club. Rino Gaetano possesses the power to capture us in a state of eternal youth, like his songs, with a knowingly bitter smile that says "Everything changes to always stay the same".
