A never-seen-before short movie is resurrected from the archives of the Cinematheque of Bologna: "Ragazzo Motore" starring the auteur Pier Paolo Pasolini. The unedited film is the starting point of a journey across the universe of Pasolini.

Inexhaustible lover of life, in all its forms, poet, philosopher, filmmaker. His revolution scandalous and candid, his sensibility ancient yet modern. A unique voice in the cultural scene of the 20th Century, and one of the most important figures of the Italian "New Wave."
