A poet's soul, preserved in dialect and silence. Soldini doesn't document—he resurrects.
The œuvre of poet Raffaello Baldini (1924-2005) through the words of those who knew him, the poems he himself read, the fragments of his monologues, his beloved Romagna landscapes.
Direction

Baldini's own gravelly readings—irreplaceable oral history.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Baldini wrote almost exclusively in Romagnolo dialect, a language with no standardized form, making each poem untranslatable by design.
Soldini previously adapted Baldini's work in theatrical collaborations with Marco Martinelli, also interviewed here—this film closes a twenty-year creative circle.
