This documentary offers a deep dive into the ground breaking life and career of Lina Wertmuller, the first woman ever nominated for the **Academy Award** for Best Director for her masterpiece *Seven Beauties*. The documentary spans decades, from the unpublished pictures taken in Cinecitta, when she was Federico Fellini's assistant director on *8 1⁄2*, to the places where her most famous films were set, revealing the artistic and human universe of a woman who, with her unfailing irony and taste for the grotesque, has left her mark in all the fields of entertainment in which she worked: cinema, drama, television, music. The journey is accompanied by many exclusive interviews with the artists who witnessed her intense and constantly evolving career. The film also features a long series of unreleased videos, images and songs written by Lina Wertmüller. Nominated for Best Documentary on Cinema at the **Venice Film Festival**.
