Synopsis
VITTORIA
Australian premiere
Jasmine (Marilena Amato) is a hairdresser in her 40s and appears to have everything she ever wanted: a devoted husband, three loving sons, and a thriving salon just south of Naples.
But after her father’s passing, she is haunted by a recurring dream in which a young girl runs into her arms, offering Jasmine a new sense of fulfilment and completeness she cannot ignore. Determined to make this dream a reality, she dives headfirst into the challenging world of international adoption – risking her marriage, her sons’ well-being, and forces her to confront her beliefs and deepest desires. Faced with numerous obstacles and a family in crisis, Jasmine remains steadfast and soon the family comes to realise that the only way out is together.
Written and directed by Alessandro Cassigoli and Casey Kauffman, based on true events and featuring non-professional actors portraying their own lives, Vittoria is a powerful drama that delves deep into the complexities of family dynamics and the seemingly irrational desires of the human psyche.
