A documentary about Gillo Pontecorvo, the famous director of "The Battle of Algiers". Based on family photos and movies, made with the precious help of Simone Pontecorvo, this is a 63 minutes trip right into Gillo's life: a partisan who fought against Fascism, an artist who became a director, a man who became a father. A close-up of a great Italian director, an incredible artist, a "dictator of truth".
