The Girl in the Fountain

Anita Ekberg is the quintessential diva, symbolizing like nobody else the “dolce vita” depicted in Federico Fellini’s film. But the famous scene at the Trevi Fountain hides a much more chaotic life, that of an actress consumed by her own iconic image. Mixing archive footage and reenacted scenes by another icon – Monica Bellucci – the film retraces her outstanding path, while drawing a double portrait of actresses and women, providing a fresh look at femininity, fame and media exposure.
