The Disappearance of My Mother

Benedetta wants to disappear. An iconic fashion model in the 60s, she became a muse to Warhol, Dali, Penn and Avedon. As a radical feminist in the 70s, she fought for the rights and emancipation of women. But at the age of 75, she becomes fed up with all the roles that life has imposed upon her and decides to leave everything and everybody behind, to disappear to a place as far as possible from the world she knows. Hiding behind the camera, her son Beniamino fights to capture the ultimate image of Benedetta – the image of her liberation.
