Title: Las Italianas
Director: Laura Citarella (Ostende, Trenque Lauquen)
Production: Laura Citarella / El Pampero Cine (AR)
Co-production: Luxbox (FR), Ambar (IT), Grandfilm (DE)
Phase: Development
A film director arrives in Italy and uncovers traces of her past between Sicily and the Argentine pampas. Stories, escapes, and mysteries open up memories like a Russian doll. Her quest leads to four sisters who were writers and emigrated at the beginning of the 20th century: isolated, authors of mysterious and subtly erotic books, like a multi-headed organism in which fiction and desire merge. The story is ultimately reflected in the eyes of a contemporary director, tasked with adapting this story for a commercial platform, transforming legacy into a product.
