At the beginning of the 20th century, Lili d'Alengy is at the height of her fame as a Parisian demi-mondaine. To preserve her reputation and hide her daughter Tina, who has learning difficulties, she flees to Rome. Her life is turned upside down when she meets Maria Montessori. The doctor has developed a method of helping special needs children learn better. In order to continue to be perceived as a "Donna Nuova," a modern, emancipated woman, Lili must make a choice: Her career or her child. In Léa Todorov's moving drama, two strong women help each other earn their place in a male-dominated world – and make history in the process. The talented actresses Leïla Bekhti and Jasmine Trinca shine in the leading roles. (Zurich Film Festival)
