SYNOPSIS
Over a century of our times in the life of one man: that of Gillo Dorfles, born in 1910, art and design critic, professor of aesthetics, but also doctor, painter, poet, and much more.
A documentary dedicated to the protagonist of our contemporary times: from his encounters with the major artists and literary figures of the 20th century (Saba, Toscanini, Joyce) to his travels between Brasilia under construction and 1950s America. Plus insights into the discipline of design and studies on kitsch.
