In this cinematic portrait, Eco takes the audience on a journey through his impressive private library, which, with over 30,000 books, is a unique reflection of his extensive knowledge and intellectual curiosity. Accompanied by profound conversations about literature, history and philosophy, the film opens up a lively panorama of Eco's intellectual universe and invites us to rediscover the importance of books and knowledge in the modern world.
