synopsis
Alessandra, Maria Paola, Marina and Liliana come from different geographical, cultural and social milieu and their lives crossed or just grazed each other in Rome between the end of the 1960s and the 1970s. Their stories, told in first person today, are rounded out by vivid and present images from public and private archives. It is a subjective telling. The “starting with one’s self,” which formulated spontaneously during the feminist movement and set the foundation for a new political practice, today becomes historical narrative. The idea of a new world – in which there would be no violence or bullying of one person by another – bloomed simultaneously in the breasts of nearly an entire generation throughout the country. Thus, the film unfolds along the parallel track of women’s history as well, touching upon the consciousness of one’s self as a woman, self-consciousness, love, violence against women, divorce, contraception, abortion, work, theatre, free radios, squatting, the displacement of personal experiences into collective ones for a more humane world, of women and men, girls and boys.
In a country that loses its collective memory on a daily basis even the decade of the great utopia, of the Feminist Movement and protests, risks being written only by men. Yet between the late 1960s and the 1970s, when Italy won reforms that marked our history, women’s voices were powerful and decisive, and shook up stagnant conventions and traditions. The four voices interwoven in this story – which today rightfully belongs to everyone – are women’s voices. Theirs are stories of women who knew how to unite personal conquests with collective civic battles, life experiences that grazed one another thousands of times before coming together on the day another young woman, Giorgiana Masi, lost her life. What was their journey like in those roaring years? What remains of it? What do they have to offer to history? An ideal counterpoint to the formidable visual memory that is revived as it steps out of the archives and cinematheques, this moving and truthful ballad speaks of yesterday, but with the spontaneity and urgency of today.
