SYNOPSIS
There comes a time in everyone’s life, when we need to start figuring out what our place in the world is. Caterina is in her 20s and she wants to be a musician, but she’s paralyzed by fear and insecurity. One summer she meets her idol, the French singer Mia, and gets to know her. It is the beginning of a complex relationship that will accompany Caterina over the years and finally allow her to find home. Almost.
DIRECTOR’S NOTE
The characters of Caterina and Mia began to take shape in my mind, when I was in my turn facing the delicate moment of “beginning”, trying to find my own path in adult life. The more I imagined them interacting, the more I was curious about digging into the dynamics of their complex relationship.
Caterina and Mia are not friends, nor lovers; they are not mother and daughter, and neither they work together: it was exactly the “undefinable” nature of this bond that captured me and I wanted to explore.
The premises of this relationship may seem incredibly magical, but Caterina will soon realize how dangerous it can be.
We never stop being afraid and feeling insecure, but when we understand that we belong to a place we can call “home”, we should do everything we can to never lose it.
