The legend of a great love story that shook the world and which begins on the threshold of the 1950s. A man of great moral integrity and great independence, films the woman he loves and invents the modern cinema. A woman, an admired celebrity, leaves family and career behind her for a man. What does this cinema tell us about post-war Italian society – the purges, the communist resistance, the birth of the republic – and its capability for reconstruction? This is a film about the couple and about the cinema – or how a marriage gave birth to modern European cinema.
