Divided into five parts, the 102-minute documentary covers AgnelIi's eccentric childhood and emergence as a glamorous internationaI pIayboy during the 1950s and '60s; the dark and turbuIent "Years of Lead" in Turin, which tested the moguI's determination to act as a stabiIizing force in the poIiticalIy chaotic decade of the 1970s; the revitaIization and prosperity of Fiat in the 1980s; and a string of emotionaI and physicaI chaIlenges that crippled AgneIIi prior to his death in 2003.
