The Story of Piera
Directed by Marco Ferreri
Produced by Faso Film, Sara Films
A deeply unsettling biographical drama that explores trauma, transgression, and fractured family bonds through a lens of sensuality and psychological damage.
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.
