Featuring Benedetta Barzini
An iconic fashion model who was a muse to Warhol and Dalí in the 1960s, and a radical feminist in the 1970s, Benedetta Barzini is fed up with all the roles life has imposed on her and wants nothing more than to disappear. But her filmmaker son Beniamino wants to keep her close for as long as possible – or, at least, as long as his camera keeps running.
