Francis Ford Coppola is one of the greatest directors of our time and the head of one of the most influential dynasties in American cinema. However, it was not always so. Coming from a family of Italian immigrants, he was bedridden for most of his childhood due to illness and changed more than 20 schools. Many years later, he will become the one who will film the legendary saga "The Godfather", shoot "Apocalypse Now" and collect many prestigious film awards. Sofia Coppola is a true daughter of her father, bold and daring. Having grown up, she did not want to remain in the shadow of her parent and made a dizzying career. But what did it cost them both?

• How did polio change the life of little Francis?

• Which film determined the fate of the director?

• How did Coppola deceive the management of film studios to get financing?

• Why did he bring the unfinished "Apocalypse Now" to Cannes?

• Why did Coppola bring plates of Italian sausage and cheese to his audition with Marlon Brando?

• What did Coppola tell his daughter when she was only 11 years old?

This is the story of a father and his daughter. The story of a family. Success, fame and recognition. But behind all this there is also a lot of blood, pain, suffering and titanic work. The story of the Coppola family is a mirror of Hollywood, how cinema has changed, and, most importantly, who changed it.
