The director and his mother, Silvana Stefanini. She was an actress – for a short while – in the 1950s. Out of love and to tease her, he dedicates a film-portrait to her that is both the mirror of their relationship and the reenactment of an old movie she performed in (La barrieraa della legge by Piero Costa).
