La Sconosciuta

[Machine Translation] Italian master filmmaker Giuseppe Tornatore, who portrayed his love for cinema in the immortal masterpiece "New Cinema Paradise" and his love for music in "The Pianist on the Sea" and his admiration for women in "Marlena", presents his first touching film in six years on the theme of maternal love. For the first time, a woman plays the leading role in this film, and the emotional music by Ennio Morricone, an essential part of Tornatore's films, enlivens this self-loving story that pays homage to the never-ending motherhood. Winner of five major Italian Academy Awards (David di Donatello). --Irena, a woman with a deep psychological scar, remains stuck in the past. Irena, a woman with deep emotional scars, is still haunted by her past. She wants to find the child she was separated from. From an Eastern European country, Irena returns to Italy, where she is once again shrouded in sad memories, and hiding her true identity, becomes a maid for a wealthy family. However, Irena's innermost feelings are stirred up by the evil hand of an abominable past... A "Letter from Tornatore" (an interview with director Tornatore for Japanese fans) will be included in the film.
