Alongside Carla Lonzi’s public persona—considered so uncompromising—there is also her private persona to explore: fascinating and contradictory. Her gentleness and existential fragility, her dependence on her partner—that is, on a man—her complex relationship with motherhood, and her painful relationship with other women, all within the collective soul-searching that was the practice of self-awareness. Drawing on precious and previously unseen archival material, director Francesca Archibugi—who has a strong personal connection to Lonzi—brings her public and private story, her ideas, and her legacy to the screen for the first time—all of which are essential to understanding what women around the world are still experiencing and fighting against today.
