And on top of all this, both women have to think about Valentina’s son Danilo’s future. One of them has to give up the dream.
Reviews
Memorable, crazy movie
Absolutely Brilliant!
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
