A timeless spa town, a 1940s hotel, a place that transports the present to who knows where. Not the past, Ornella Vanoni's life, but the revelation—current—of her intimacy, exhibited through a relationship: her relationship with the director. The energy, the character, the music, the confrontations, the heat, the fatigue. Everything is filmed without sparing anything, not even the arguments between Ornella and Elisa. The film goes along with what Ornella naturally generates and bends to the unexpected, to the present. And then there are the encounters with friends, musicians, Vinicio Capossela, Samuele Bersani, Paolo Fresu's trumpet resounding in the empty spaces of the grand hotel where, between identical days marked by care and treatment, the story, the memory, but also the future take shape as Ornella prepares to become a fantastic creature made of voice and dreams, destined for eternity.

The contemporary architecture of Rome are at the heart of the beautifully shot and winsomely appealing Nina, which charts the oddball escapades of a young woman in a depopulated Rome during one hot summer. This heartwarming tale of a lonesome girl who teaches singing and dog-sits during her holidays on the outskirts of Rome. Its striking cinematography evokes Nina's indefinable anxiety. By opening herself up to life she conquers a vision of her future full of imagination and beauty.
