Sara Drago

New film by Davide Minnella.

Fernanda Wittgens joined the Brera Museum in 1928, and after a few years she was its director. Courageous and visionary, during the war she saved artworks from the bombings, aided political opponents of Fascism and Jewish families in fleeing the regime, and was imprisoned for her actions. After Italy’s liberation, she rebuilt the Brera and championed its being open and accessible to one and all. Yet despite her groundbreaking policies, she was forgotten after her death. This film seizes on that absence. Calling on the actress Sara Drago, who lends her face and voice to Wittgens in her letters, and the art historian Giovanna Ginex, the filmmakers create a collaborative space in which the past, the present, and their interpretations are intertwined. Fernanda, albeit invisible, is a living presence.

Italy, a few minutes into the future. Hera is linked to the neural global communication system known as “Control” that dominates the behavior of all the world population. The girl manages to free herself and to create a communication circuit isolated from control with her partner Aphrodite, but Dr. Routine, an agent of Control, takes action to eliminate this anomaly: however Hera manages to link Dr. Routine to the closed circuit put together by Aphrodite and her, a premise of a possible revolution and of the end of Control.
