SENZA FINE

A spa resort out of time, a 1940s hotel, a place that shifts the present who knows where.
Not Ornella Vanoni's life, but the revelation of her exposed intimacy.
Her energy, her character, her music, her diva-like tantrums, which force the crew to stop several times. Elisa, the director, filming everything, sparing nothing, not even the discussions.
Then the encounters. Friends, musicians, Paolo Fresu's trumpet resounding in the empty spaces of the big hotel where, in the midst of identical days punctuated by care and treatment, the story, the memory, but also the future take shape as Ornella prepares to become a fantastic creature, destined for eternity.

"A story - a protagonist - like this one also changes who tells it. In the difficulty and in the grace, and in the drift above all, I also suffered the Vanoni effect, which is a mixture of courage and fragility, of seriousness and irony. Now I see that we have exchanged places several times; somehow Ornella let me be her while I was telling her story. An irresistible contagion"
Elisa Fuksas
