Plots(1)
20-year-old Lucy Cunningham has never kissed a boy, never had a job, and never really had friends. Her best – and perhaps only – friend is her mother Claire, who has shielded her from all the bad in the world, including Claire's own terminal illness. Lucy, aware that something is up with Mom, leaps into adulthood and her Vespa to Cleveland for a job interview. There, she stumbles into a bizarre and wonderful festival of the films of Federico Fellini, the great Italian director, where she sees his Oscar-winning "La Strada" (1954) and is instantly swept away. The cleverly enigmatic tragicomedy leaves Lucy restless and aching for answers. In a burst of courage, she leaves her small-town home to find the filmmaker and unlock his mysterious enigma and her own. What follows is a strange and spectacular journey through the romantic dreamscapes of Italy, as Lucy encounters not just characters from Fellini's films, but the fantasies and nightmares that defined him.

It might not be any filmmaking miracle that’s on par with Cinema Paradiso as far as the topic goes, but it has a nice reference to the old Italian movies of Federico Fellini. It’s a small-scale movie paying respects to an Italian director in the form of a daring young girl whose journey to Italy encompasses many meetings with a whole range of characters in different Italian cities, along with meeting the director himself. It doesn’t have the exact poetic atmosphere it attempts to have, but even so, it was pleasant to watch.
