    • Synopsis
    • Son of the war, born and raised in the outskirts of Naples from a Neapolitan girl and an American soldier after World War II. James Senese has been searching for an identity in a changing world, pouring his conflicts into his music. The documentary, a portrait of the man and the artist, finds the beating heart of his trajectory in the formation of the band Napoli Centrale in the early seventies and investigates the latest evolution of that musical project
