Anna(it)

On March 21, 1956, Anna Magnani won the Academy Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role for The Rose Tattoo. She spends the night waiting for the news to arrive wandering the alleys and squares of Rome, among the people who love her and the memories that inhabit her heart. With her, there is a young girl who will become her agent: Carol Levi. Dawn brings her victory, but it is a very brief one. The unpredictable turn of fate pushes her aside at the moment of her greatest splendour. The film thus narrates the human-side of Anna's story, an impetuous woman, hilarious in her crazy moments, the world of cinema that revolves around her, Cinecittà, her quarrels with directors, her being betrayed. Above everything there's Roberto Rossellini, always present in her mind. "An imprint in the heart that lives on even when time has erased everything else". He will return and won't leave her. Ever again.
