Beyond gender and against all logic
In late 1990s Italy, Olga, a 40-year-old married woman with two children, is a devoted mother and wife. She tries to lead a life in perfect conformity with what society has imposed on her. One day, her husband leaves her for a younger woman, like in a pathetic soap opera. And then, her entire universe collapses. Immersed in a constant feeling of danger, she spirals into rage and becomes a vulgar, violent and grotesque woman. How can she rebuild herself?
In this adaptation of Elena Ferrante's novel, the actress and stage director Gaia Saitta plays the protagonist of this story, accompanied by her children and her dog.
