On stage in five minutes
A tender story of the interdependence between a woman, a stage actress, and a mother
who can no longer live independently, which shifts between fiction and real life in its portrait
of an inter generational female relationship.
Gianna is a daughter, with an elderly and very demanding mother to look after.
She is also an actress, working on a stage production fraught with difficulties. And on top of all this she is a woman, with a delicate romantic situation that she finds hard to fit into her life. Like a game of Chinese boxes, the film blends documentary, theatre and fiction and tells, with a gentle smile, a story about looking after somebody who needs us.
