Using light, colour and composition, Matteo Cocco builds up the unique world of Italy's celebrated Naive painter and sculptor Antonio Ligabue. The beauty and originality of the film's tender images lead us into Antonio's instinctual and raw emotional world. In this atmospheric film, Matteo combines amazing impressionistic landscape and architecture shots with incredibly haptic and sensual portraits of the protagonist as he leans into a horse's soft fur, follows a cockroach running across the earthen floor or dances with a turkey to an audience of country kids.
