Résumé

Le film raconte le destin d’Henry Padovani, jeune corse de vingt-quatre ans débarqué à Londres en décembre 1976, acteur et témoin d'une période où naissait un nouveau courant alternatif et révolutionnaire : le mouvement punk. Musicien et guitariste, il a traversé les années 80 comme une météorite tombée de nulle part, du groupe The Police qu’il fonde avec Stewart Copeland en janvier 1977, jusqu’à leurs retrouvailles sur scène trente ans plus tard devant quatre vingt mille personnes au stade de France, des Clash aux Sex Pistols, des Who aux Pretenders, de REM qu’il signe à Zucchero qu’il manage.

Henry Padovani, this young 24-year old Corsican, who arrived in London in December 1976, is one of them.
Actor and witness of a period when the alternative and revolutionary trend, the punk movement, arose, this self-taught guitar player went through the 80’s like a meteorite falling from nowhere.
From The Police he founded with Stewart Copeland in January 77, until his reunion on stage thirty years later in front of 80,000 people, from The Clash to the Sex Pistols, from The Who to The Pretenders, from REM he signed up to Zucchero whom he manages, with everyone, Henry shared a little bit of their music and a lot of their lives.
Going back to his London memories, camera in hand, a move guided by a series of improvised sequences, of interviews of some of these rock n roll heroes, and of those who were there, more anonymous but just as important, the story of an extraordinary man told in this film, faithful to his drive for freedom and spontaneity.
A man for whom Rock’n’Roll has always been synonymous of friendship and solidarity.
A man who dedicated and keeps on dedicating his life to music, and Rock’n’roll…Of Corse !
