This documentary film is a tribute to one of the great legends of world cinema, whose extraordinary artistic vision transcended national borders, devising narrative and stylistic solutions that have become part of the language of cinema.

The feature film, presented at the 79th Venice International Film Festival and winner of the Nastro d'Argento 2023 as Documentary of the Year, offers a never-before-seen portrait of a visionary and deeply cultured man who lived and breathed cinema from its inception and whose idea of cinema lives on today.

Sergio Leone and his cinema are recounted in this documentary through precious archival materials and, for the first time, with the direct participation of the Leone family. Unpublished testimonies, both to historical collaborators of the director and to Hollywood icons who were profoundly influenced by his work, bring out how central Sergio Leone's cinema and creative genius still are, representing an indisputable source of inspiration for the greatest filmmakers of contemporary cinema.
