More than ten years of music, words, and battles told without masks. The film follows Willie from the fragile and difficult moments of 2023 to his arrival at the Sanremo Festival in 2025. Through intimate images and previously unseen material, his most authentic passions intertwine: the visceral bond with Turin and Torino FC, the relentless pursuit of a political and social language both on and off stage, and the constant tension of remaining true to himself. A human portrait, playful, free of conventions.

His writing tackles social and political themes with clarity, without losing the lightness of irony.
Willie writes brilliantly. He is one of the finest lyricists in Italian music. And he is accompanied by a fantastic band…
