A film director gathers his favourite actresses, those he worked with and those he loves. He wants to make a film about women but he doesn’t reveal much: he observes them, takes cue, until his imaginations throws them into an era where the noise of sewing machines fills the space, handled and populated by women, where men have minor and marginal roles and cinema can be told from another point of view: the one of costume. Between loneliness, passions, anxieties, heartbreaking absence and unbreakable bonds, reality and fiction permeate, as well as the lives of the actresses and those of the characters, in a highly enjoyable film that celebrates the power of cinema and craft.
The preview screening on 15 April will be followed by a Q&A with director Ferzan Ozpetek
