Synopsis

Papa Neutrino could have been a “captain of industry”; instead, he chose a life of voluntary homelessness for himself and his family. Using footage that the family itself took over the course of a decade, the Neutrino children grow up before our eyes, experiencing home-schooling, while constantly traveling, sometimes as part of a Mexican circus, sometimes as a family orchestra on the streets of New Orleans. Our own Ingrid Lucia, one of his daughters, offers proof positive that there was a method. in Papa Neutrino’s apparent madness. “This guy makes Jack Kerouac look like he lived at home with his mother and went out on the road on weekends.” -_The New Yorker_
