Claudio was born in Greece, raised in Venice, got married in Taranto, and was murdered in New York after having chased the American dream for twenty years. Giacomo Abbruzzese retraces his grand-father's story, plunging the spectator into 1960s New York and the atmosphere of gangster films, set to the music of Billy Joel. Drawing on the testimony and memories of those who were close to Claudio on both sides of the Atlantic, the film unveils a mysterious, complex character, constantly on the run. A portrait of a man no-one ever really knew.
