Who was Aristide Massaccesi, aka Joe D’Amato? A genius of horror in the USA, a master of eroticism in France, the king of porn in Italy. A man with a thousand pseudonyms and many facets, capable of making over 200 films while simultaneously holding the roles of producer, director, author, director of photography and even camera operator. An artisan of cinema, as he liked to define himself, capable of ranging between all film genres. And this film tells the story of his courageous, crazy, reckless life, dedicated to a single, unique, uncontainable and catastrophic obsession: the film set.
