 Im Anschluss Aperitivo und Gespräch mit dem Regisseur.

Roberto Rossellini was a genius of the cinema and a distinctly anti-conformist father. His romances filled the front pages of newspapers around the world, scandalous to the rigid morality of the Fifties and generated a numerous, proudly multi-ethnic, and decidedly extended family. Alessandro, the great directors first grandchild, has had a shaky career as a photographer and a lengthy past as a drug addict. As the first grandchild of a genius, he doesn't feel he measures up to the surname he bears. So, at 55 years of age he decides to make his first film, taking on the Rossellini saga with wit and pressing his relatives into an impossible family therapy in front of the camera. Alessandro Rossellini worked as a still photographer for Federico Fellini, David Lynch and Martin Scorsese, among others. He also worked as a freelance photographer for magazines such as Vogue, Amicca and Republicca. The Rossellinis debuted in Critics Week during the Venice Film Festival.
