Claudia Mollese : 2015
A trip on the trail of a legendary figure of the South of Italy, the discovery of an invisible city suspended between devotion and transgression. Mara is a transsexual whose life created a scandal in the city of Lecce, from the 50s until the day of her will. Her portrait is drawn through the words of those who crossed their lives with hers. Lola's husky voice, the cultured and sensual voice of the Princess, Anna's excited voice and Vanda's lucid voice, they all intertwine fragments of their lives with memories of Mara. A new town suspended between memory and desire, public and private, takes shape against a background of religious parades, foreigners awaiting eviction from their homes and intricate alleys. Claudia Mollese's documentary premiered at Festival del Cinema Europeo Lecce 2015, and screened at Torino Gay & Lesbian Film Festival 2015.
