So beautiful is not a documentary or an inquiry, but an
attempt to show the progression of the italian woman in
the last century using images.
Historical documents from the Luce archive, fragments of
film, popular songs and inteviews make up the network
used to describe this great female adventure which over
one hundred years has redesigned it’s own images and
roles among family and society.
