Musician and composer Alfredo Lacosegliaz began his musical journey in the Trieste of the 1970s, negotiating physical and ideological frontlines, and finding a balance between the diverse cultural souls that had coexisted for centuries in the city. He embraced the music of Eastern Europe well before it became fashionable. Interviews with musicians, directors and authors who collaborated with him reveal his nature as a human being and as an artist. This narrative is accompanied by the original music he composed, characterised by odd rhythms, revealing an unconventional figure whose artistic and musical legacy has been left open for those who are curious to explore it and take it further.
āThe filmās intention is to create the conditions for Alfredo Lacosegliazās musical work to be transformed into a common legacy, so that all his compositions do not end up in a drawer but become a collective property, a living and changing work.ā (E. Guerrato)
