Guido Morselli is one of the most visionary and complex writers of the Italian 20th century. As a loner and far removed from the political debates of his time, he was never understood. In 1973, he took his own life with a revolver. His entire oeuvre was published posthumously and reveals prophetic texts in a very personal style.
Between 1952 and 1955, he worked on amateur films and shot a lot of 8mm material, Nobody has seen them before today.
This movie attempts to explore the writer's thoughts by combining the audiovisual material with Guido Morselli's most personal texts: Diaries and the Dissipatio H. G. The result is a hallucinated journey into the depths of an artist who reveals the abysses that can be hidden around us.
