Nico Naldini, like his eight years older cousin Pier Paolo Pasolini, who grew up in Casarsa in Friuli, describes in this chronology the life and complete works of Pasolini. It begins with the idyllic shared youth years in Casarsa, Pasolini's first poetic attempts in the Friulian dialect, the confusing experiences of early love, up to that first conflict with the bourgeois world, the charge of obscenity, the resulting loss of his teaching position, and his expulsion from the Communist Party. Naldini cites a wealth of testimonies from and about Pasolini: diaries, private correspondence, and memories from his friends, extraordinary photographs, recorded conversations, journalistic polemics, and aesthetic debates with his colleagues - building blocks from the life and work of a poet who spanned thirty years.
