A laid-back journey in search of one of the world’s most fascinating families, observed and examined from within its most intimate relationships, where the truth and depth of a memoir meet the ironic tone of an indie comedy.

In this video diary, director and producer Gil Rossellini—the son of Roberto—recounts (with the help of his sister Isabella) the ordeal of the illness that struck him on November 19, 2004, confining him to a wheelchair after some twenty surgeries and more than eight months of rehabilitation. Gil passed away in October 2008.
