A poignant documentary exploring the extraordinary bond between director Pippo Delbono and Bobò—Vincenzo Cannavacciuolo—a deaf-mute, illiterate man with microcephaly who lived for over four decades in the Aversa asylum. Delbono discovered Bobò in 1995 and brought him into his theater and film world, capturing archival footage and new material that reveal Bobò’s profound poetic presence and transformative impact on Delbono’s artistic vision
