Description
Gandria, November 1999: during a dinner at the Sievi household, Daniele Finzi Pasca tells the story of the company’s new show and the involvement of Ana Heredia, who had never trodden the boards before. Walther Sievi immediately suggests following Ana at every stage of this new and unpredictable journey. This is how the film was born, from the simple desire to discreetly accompany Ana on her journey, to capture every smile, every little crisis, every word of encouragement, and to give everyone the opportunity to peek into this extraordinary moment in her life. From Gandria to Montréal, from Mexico City to Lugano, Walther and Anita Sievi meticulously captured images, words and sounds for almost a year and then, along with Antonio Vergamini, they put together a film that is first and foremost a way of thanking Ana for the emotions shared during the period they spent together.
