Roberto Rossellini - Living Without A Script

2025 · 96 min · ★ 5.0 · Documentary

In 1956, Roberto Rossellini was in the throes of a personal and artistic crisis. His recent films with Ingrid Bergman had flopped, their marriage was falling apart, and the press was relentless. When Bergman returned to Hollywood, Rossellini accepted an invitation from Indian Prime Minister Nehru to document India's progress. With doubts and a suitcase full of spaghetti, he set out to find a creative and emotional rebirth in India, inspired by a culture that balanced tradition and modernity.

It often happens that at the moment of death, transgender individuals are shorn of their identity. Their families are ashamed, the funeral takes place in secret, and on the tomb appears the name the deceased had before their transition, in one stroke nullifying the entire life path they had chosen. The same thing happened to Antonia. Her girlfriends gather to honor her memory and give her back her identity denied. In telling her story, the film’s stars, all drawn from the variegated transgender world, interweave the narrative with tales of their own lives, experiences, and memories.
