Haroldo Conti tells the story of himself. Through his literary stories, his voice rescued from archives, the fictional recreation of his anecdotes, and his characters, the film tells us about a man and his work. It is Haroldo Conti himself, that man who travels, a "homo viator," as he defined himself in the Latin he taught in schools, who guides us in this film through all his worlds: that of ideas, that of creation, that of affections. In all of them, one constant: a profound love for humanity and for life. Haroldo Conti, Homo Viator, knew how to live with intensity and conviction. But, above all, with joy.
