Asia Argento : 2014
Misunderstood
Rome, 1984. Aria is a nine-year-old girl. On the verge of divorce, Aria's infantile and selfish parents are too preoccupied with their careers and extra-marital affairs to properly tend to any of Aria's needs. While her two older half-sisters are pampered, Aria is treated with cold indifference. Yet she yearns to love and to be loved. At school, Aria excels academically but is considered a misfit by everyone. She is misunderstood. Aria finds comfort in her cat, Dac, and in her best friend, Angelica. Thrown out of both parents' homes, abandoned by all, even her best friend, Aria finally reaches the limit of what she can bear. She walks through the city with a striped bag and a black cat, touching the abyss and the tragedy and just trying to protect her innocence. Asia Argento's third feature premiered in the Un Certain Regard section at Festival de Cannes 2014.
