Raffaello Baldini is a very great poet, yet few know who he is. He wrote in the dialect of Santarcangelo di Romagna and translated his own verses into Italian at the foot of the page. A sixty-year-old writer follows Baldini's poems and the many stories, images and characters they carry: dead people who 'say nothing and know everything', men who talk too much, small, seemingly insignificant events. Moving between the archives that keep Baldini's papers, the memories of mutual friends and his own diary and life, he weaves a mosaic of fragments around one question: when is it, in the end, that we actually live?
