Vintage newsreels, clips from Roberto Rossellini's films starring Ingrid Bergman, and astonishing home movies that the actress mostly shot herself all go into telling the story of the great Hollywood star's years in Italy, from 1948 to 1956. In those eight years she fell in love with Roberto Rossellini, had three children and made five unforgettable films, revisited here by Alessandro Rossellini and Angelica Grizi. An Italian journey seen through the eyes of Ingrid, who ‘directs' and narrates a short, heartfelt film and a paean to a country - with its exotic air, ‘dolce vita' and intimacy - that she would always consider a symbol of change and renewal. With the participation of Isabella Rossellini.
