Synopsis
“When I see Rome I see my mother. It’s been like that ever since she died.” A summer evening twentyfive years ago: the city is deserted, the final of the FIFA World Cup is underway. A woman, Teresa, comes down to the Tiber and lets herself be carried away by its current. She is swallowed by the river and her daughter Virginia crosses Rome in the dark of the night: she wants to find her and save her. Virginia has to make her way through the depths of the waters, of the history, myths, calamities and gleams of life of a timeless Rome. And so she is able to see again her mother, who emerges from the darkness of the Tiber to fly toward AMOR, “the planet of care” surrounded by water where the streets, squares and fountains remind her of Rome and animals are free to wander around.
Director's Statement
We look at images but they look back at us too. This allows us to hold a dialogue with them. It is my awareness of this that drives me to make films. Trying to put the pieces back together and give a sense to our most intimate joys and sorrows. In AMOR the moment has come to cross the barrier, explore my own “depths” and those of Rome, penetrate its many layered skin, enter its belly, plunge into its waters and then emerge free at last from all pain. Because on my journey I have dreamed of a city that resembles Rome but is not Rome and where everyone takes care of each other, unconditionally.
