A low-budget first feature film, which struggled for a year to find a distributor, before becoming a huge hit… The creation of an eccentric character, who immediately entered the annals of cinema… A Special Jury Prize at Cannes and an Oscar in Hollywood … Then a massive project.

1963: The Mondo Libero newsreel by Gastone Ferranti and other material found in Czechoslovakia, the Soviet Union and England became, for Pier Paolo Pasolini, the basis for a lyrical and polemical analysis of the social phenomena and conflicts affecting the modern world, from the Cold War to the Economic Boom, with commentary consisting of a “poetical voice” (Giorgio Bassani) and a “prosaic voice” (Renato Guttuso).
While Pasolini was working on editing “La Rabbia”, the producer, with either political and/or commercial motives, decided to turn the movie into a four-handed work, and entrusted Giovannino Guareschi with a part of it, following the well known journalist-like scheme “seen by right, seen by left.”

Loud thoughts of nine women on the existential themes, about the essence of being human, and about the feelings. Each of them performs the act of meeting with herself. Person number one meets person number two, her alter ego. There rises a question: who am I? Where did I come from and where am I going to?
