Scavolini together with Paolo Brunatto and his friend Valentino Zeichen, traces the vicissitudes of his early steps in experimental cinema, the basis of which was the development of an attempt to describe in real time the gestures and events of reality. The documentary presents never-before-seen images and evocative backstage moments from Scavolini's latest film, “The Apocalypse of the Apes” (2004), a very recent production that was completely self-managed and an example of a new poor cinema.
