The aim is to narrate a series of "rooms," each one representing a period in the life of Guido Harari, one of the world's most celebrated music photographers. A set of Chinese boxes, in which each one exceeds the previous one, but continues to contain it. The traveler in these rooms is the photographer himself, who with his camera will act as Cicero and the protagonist of a journey through time and space. This documentary allows us to tell part of the story of Italian and other music of the twentieth century through a series of encounters and through the enhancement of a series of absolutely unpublished and very personal private archives.

Through meetings with the protagonists of his photos and with the help of absolutely unpublished archives, the documentary is a journey through the different phases of musical culture from the 1960s to the present day. Harari is a portrait painter who has met almost all the leading figures of Italian and international music but also many others such as scientists, fashion designers, writers and entrepreneurs. Each of Guido Harari's images, even when he does not portray music, has its own sound. And it is a sound that is the result of many stories, which will be told again through our images. This project is in continuity with two documentaries previously directed by Daniele Cini and Tekla, both on two other leading figures in Italian photography (Paola Agosti and Gianni Berengo), both films broadcast on RAI. This third documentary stands in continuity and seriality with the previous two.
