Tenderstories is co-producer of the docu-film “La Scelta di Maria”, which will be broadcast in prime time on Rai1 on Thursday 4 November, on the occasion of the 100th Anniversary of the burial of the Unknown Soldier at the Altare della Patria in Rome. The film, produced by Anele in collaboration with Rai Cinema, under the patronage of the Ministry of Defence and in co-production with Istituto Luce-Cinecittà, directed by Francesco Miccichè, retraces the political, social and human events that led to the birth of the Unknown Soldier through fictional scenes, archive images, interviews and animation.

Interweaving the fictional narration with precious period repertories, original animations and a series of “reconstructed interviews” with the protagonists of the story, played by their respective actors, the docu-film gives the new generations a human and profound portrait of those who experienced an unprecedented historical event at first hand, capable of representing the moods and emotions of an entire country, shaken by the destruction and bewilderment caused by the Great War.
