Ornella and Teresa, 68 and 89 years old respectively, see one another every day in their small town of Rovereto, Italy. With 21 years between them, Ornella is the caretaker, Teresa the vibrant beauty who is regressing due to memory loss and mourning her fading sex appeal. When they were younger, it was Teresa who dedicated herself to Ornella, partly in an attempt to protect her from a deeply buried family scandal. Filmmaker Manu Gerosa, Ornella’s son, noticed that after a year of filming the sisters’ daily lives, his Aunt Teresa was becoming more lost and distressed, so mother and son decide to coax her secret to the surface. But the real revelation in this charming portrait, whimsical and melancholy by turns, is the unending bond of love and devotion shared between sisters. (PC)
