The Story of Piera

Directed by Marco Ferreri

Written by Piera Degli Esposti, Dacia Maraini, Marco Ferreri, Dacia Maraini, Piera Degli Esposti

Piera is a young woman who grows up under the parentage of two extremely original overseers: both her mother and father have incestuous relations with her before they are committed to insane asylums. A special connection, between a mother and her daughter, full of sensuality and complicity, has allowed to portray a family full of fears, rather unbalanced, but nevertheless searching infinite love.
