"Tonino De Bernardi - Un tempo, un incontro" is a film about the duel between two friends who are very different from one another. Two different approaches, two characters, two views that only seem antithetical meet and then open up in front of a camera. Or, more precisely, in front of the cameras.

The two directors have seized this opportunity to swap views and experiences.
