Felicità
Orizzonti Extra
Synopsis
This is the story of a broken family, of egotistic and manipulative parents, a two-headed monster that devours every hope of freedom on the part of the children. Desirè is the only one who can save her brother Claudio and will go on fighting against everything and everyone in the name of the only love she knows, in pursuit of a bit of happiness.
Director’s Statement
Felicità is the first film I’ve directed and I’m so proud and honored that Venice is the first festival to accept it and treat it so well. The story, which is in part inspired by something true, is that of a dysfunctional family, of a psychiatric treatment, of an unbalanced relationship, of educational and social mediocrity and of how the spirit of the Italy of these years has an impact on the people least equipped to deal with it. It took some nerve for me to play the part of Desirè, because it is certainly not an edifying portrait of a virtuous woman. On the contrary, she is decidedly imperfect, naïve, a bit deceitful and even pathetic.
