Synopsis

Music unites, but it can also highlight differences. An excursion to another time and place, maybe to another planet, leads to an epoch when millions of Europeans indulged in synthesized sounds, catchy melodies, and generally bizarre English lyrics, all often combined with insistently futuristic videos. A thorough lesson on the cyber-snobbery of “italo disco” and the circumstances of the music industry at the time. The genre was born in Italy, then given new energy in Germany, and the whole planet danced. This analytical documentary reminds us of the importance of always having independent, non-ideological escape music.
