Solar

In 1991, Flavio Cabobianco published his first book Vengo del Sol, in which, at the age of only ten, he philosophised about God and different universes. Flavio quickly became a New Age phenomenon. Twenty years later, he decides to republish his book and film a documentary about his family history. As filming begins, Flavio expresses his disagreement with the director's ideas. Flavio's constant questioning leads to a change of direction, a power struggle between director and leading player.
