The artistic and existential trend of Swedish Lou Castel, a symbolic face for the Italian cinema of the protest and animated by an irrepressible spirit of experimentation. As a cult actor icon of the decade of '68 -'77 where he has been active in Rome and Milan, a well-liked video artist, painter and intellectual in today's Paris: two worlds, two ways of being apparently far away, but linked by one way towards the resistance to the cultural, artistic, civil field. His voice is interlaced with the memories of colleagues, friends and family. They are entitled to put his personal stories into the wider context of history and Italian society of the period.
