"Benedetta Barzini wants ot disappear. An iconic fashion model in teh 1960s, she became a muse to Warhol, Dali, Penn and Avedon. As a radical feminist in the 1970s, she fought for the rights and emancipation of women. But at the age of 75, she is fed up with all the roles that life has imposed on her and decides to leave everything and everybody behind, to disapear to a place as far as possible from teh gaze of the camera. Only her son Beniamino is permetted to witness her journey. Having filmed her since he was a child despite her resistance, eh now wnat sot make a film about her, to keep her close for as long as possible--or, at least, as long as his camer keeps running. The making of The Disappearance of My Mother turns into a battle between mother and son, a stubborn fight to capture the ultimate image of Benedetta--that of her liberation." --container.
