The story

The film is based on 150 hours of taped interviews secretly recorded by Toscanini's son, Walter, at Toscanini's Wave Hill home, in the Bronx, New York City. In a fictional New Year's Eve, Toscanini, sitting in his armchair in his living room, is joined for an intimate chat by his relatives and close friends: his son Walter and daughter Wally, his assistant and friend Anita Colombo, Canadian conductor Wilfrid Pelletier, and Iris Cantelli, wife of his protégé Guido. In this fictional conversation are encapsulated the "multiple revelations" of the secretly recorded tapes.
