A documentary about and featuring Giovanna Marini, conceived as a reflection on using the voice as a vehicle for seeking and acting on reality and recounting history and stories with music her whole life.
Since 1958, she has been recording and preserving folk songs, composing ballads, music for film, theatre and opera. An incredible woman, unconventional with a surprising voice, for 60 years she has recounted the crucial points in our collective history, a master of sung oral history.
