Storyline

These are hard days for Margherita, who is going through a very difficult period in her life. On a professional level first, the middle-aged film director, has started wondering whether the committed movies she has been making are really an actual reflection of the world she lives in ; on top of this, she is in conflict not only with her crew but also, and primarily, with Barry Huggins, a well-known American actor of Italian origin, who proves awfully bad and uncontrollable. On the personal level, things do not get any better - it could even be said they are worse. Margherita has just left her life partner and she has become unable to relate to her teenage daughter. As for her mother, she is now seriously ill and her doctor tries to prepare her brother and her for the worst. Which is unacceptable to the weakened woman who can find salvation only in denial of reality. Will she manage to face up to the facts and to come to terms with herself? Written by Guy Bellinger

I loved it...
6 January 2016 | by (france) – See all my reviews

First of all, I'm a French speaking Indian living in France and I'm very passionate about cinema, I'm saying because I don't understand any Italian word in this film. I've just followed the film with the subtitles and I was speechless. The theme of the movie is something very unique and not everyone could held the megaphone easily other than Moretti. I liked very much the story, the screenplay, the lighting, the DOP, the cuts and everything... I liked so much the performance of The mother, the daughter and the son, the grand daughter, the actor. They were fabulous in each scene. They don't act but they react for the situation and so the film was very much realistic.

I would recommend this film for everybody! :) happy to see a good movie like this...
