The year 2024 is a delicate and crucial one for Giovanni Allevi’s life and career: months filled with music and fatigue, bursts of joy and pain, thunderous applause and more solitary moments. A long period of inactivity finally comes to an end, and his relationship with the audience proves stronger than ever. Yet there are also many everyday gestures that once were performed almost without thinking and now require attention and, at times, great effort.
Through an intimate and delicate gaze, and guided by the Maestro’s voice, the film allows us to connect with an artist who, after a long pause due to illness, resumes his journey, concert after concert, note after note. Each day is another gift, sustained by an authentic vocation for music, strengthened by a love for art and beauty that can save the world — and thus each one of us.
This particular moment in Giovanni Allevi’s life offers the opportunity to retrace the key stages of his training and career, as well as to delve into the subjects closest to his heart. The story intertwines the present timeline — the first months of 2024, during which Giovanni once again conducts the orchestra and tours with his solo piano compositions — with the entire arc of his life, through a confession that explores the past and imagines the future thanks to the words of the protagonist and of those who have known or collaborated with him for years. All of this is enriched by archival material, musical moments, and brief poetic cinematic reconstructions.
