Daniel Kemény

Daniel Kemény returns twenty years later to the place of his childhood, the village of Pietrapaola in Calabria. In search of lost time, the filmmaker collects musical accounts, brings together their protagonists and gives these memories a new life, thus playing the generous transmitter who helps keep alive the oral history of a world whose popular traditions are dying off.

Daniel and Samuel are two brothers: one is European, the other is Cuban, the first now a man, the second just a boy. They share the same father, a man who fled Germany, the collective memory of Nazism, during the Years of Lead. Reinhold Stockburger has lived for many years in Cuba, an island from which he has never returned. Three generations face stormy family ties and a fundamental passage of life: death.

When the coronavirus hit Europe in 2020, Laura and Daniel were not ready to spend 24 hours a day together in the same place. After the first days of romantic and culinary idyll, their relationship begins to suffer, with jealousy and bursts of ego undermining what seemed like a perfect love story. With complicity and empathy, Supertempo depicts an experience shared by many.
