Synopsis
2017 34 mins Colour Dolby Stereo
From a very young age, Cosimo Mauro dreamt about being a Rockstar. It was a dream he would briefly realise in his twenties. But what he could not have predicted was that at age forty he would be diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease.
On the surface the film provides an intimate window into the life of a man struggling psychologically and physically with a debilitating illness but if we look closer we soon understand that Parkinson’s is just an exaggeration of the universal themes of ageing and the comparisons we are eventually forced to make between a life we used to dream about and the lives we actually lead.
