Una Femmina: The Code of Silence

Olivia is a 27-year-old girl in an existential crisis who finds herself quickly becoming an adult and responsible to raise her twin girls alone and keep a slacker brother out of trouble. An accident opens her eyes to the fact that she has only one life and that, perhaps, it is worth trying to change it to realize some of the dreams that she has put aside.

Luigi looks after his mother and his little brother since their abusive father Franco left when he was 10. Now a young man brimming with rage, he joins a far-right gang in search of belonging just as Franco shows up again in their life.

A recollection of a night spent walking the streets of the Eternal City, following the steps of two young boys: Vlad, a modern Romanian boy of life, and Cosimo who has just moved to the city. Both cross the city from head to toe in search of redemption, liberation or perhaps a place to hide. To find it they will go as far as the sea, as far as the body of a young prostitute, but they will find it, perhaps, only in the feeling that brings them together and binds them.

Italy, 1970. An increasing legion of harmless warriors begins a peaceful struggle for sexual freedom through pornography, shaking and shocking religious authorities and conservative political institutions. They are ironic, happy, crazy. They are dreamers, defenders of definitive communion between body and soul. But they were censored and humiliated. They were mistreated and arrested for demanding loud a new cultural renaissance.

A unique chance to explore Pier Paolo Pasolini's youth through the voice and the body of his direct cousin, writer and poet Nico Naldini.
