Drama

Film Synopsis

Isabella Ragonelli has a turbulent but affectionate relationship with her father Alberto, a moody and often violent man who is also a well-known film producer.  The only daughter from Alberto' second marriage, Isabella grew up in awe of her illustrious father, but she was always taken unawares by his extravagant mood swings.  Some times he could be as sweet and gentle as a dove.  Other times, he could be as ferocious as a wild dog.  When one of Isabella's half-brothers dies suddenly, the whole family is thrown into a turmoil of grief.  It is a time for reflection and reconciliation, a time to bury not only one much loved family member, but also the detested demons of the past...
