Maria Bello plays Claire, who shields 20-year-old Lucy from all the bad in the world. When harsh reality shatters their small-town Ohio life, Lucy travels to Italy in the hope of finding herself through the work of Federico Fellini. 🇮🇹

Maria is an acclaimed American actress, producer, and activist, celebrated for her powerful performances across film and television and her unwavering dedication to women’s rights. We were incredibly fortunate to collaborate with her on .

“As sisters Kerri and Claire, respectively, Mary Lynn Rajskub and Maria Bello play off each other extremely well. You get a strong sense that they really are sisters. An explosive sibling blow-up between the two is intense and resonant while their mutually undying love and support never wavers, emotionally grounding the film in reality.” - BEHIND THE LENS

Fun fact: Claire’s line “Your real life is in your dreams anyway” is a reference to Wanda’s line “Our real life is in our dreams…” from Fellini’s “The White Sheik.”

was a truly wild and wonderful project.

Director and founder of , Taron Lexton has always had a deep love for Italy, having spent time there growing up, and long dreamed of finding an excuse to film there. 🇮🇹

Over ten years ago, in 2014, when Nancy Cartwright sat down with Taron over coffee and shared her extraordinary true experiences pursuing Federico Fellini in her youth–which had inspired her screenplay–he was electrified.

Like most people, he had seen a few of Fellini’s films, but he seized this opportunity to watch every single one of them and began to discover the complex and fascinating world of Fellini himself, and saw how strikingly it intertwined with Nancy’s own story.

As the cast began to assemble, including the brilliant trio of Ksenia Solo , Maria Bello , and Mary Lynn Rajskub , each brought new layers of depth and richness to the film. The process was incredibly collaborative, and was an amazing evolution from Nancy’s original experience, to the screenplay, to the daily discoveries of filming in one of the most beautiful places on Earth.

The film grew steeped in authenticity and symbolism, a dreamscape of real Italian locations, true stories, fantasies, and Fellini’s own films and pathos. It is a love letter to Italy, an homage to Fellini, and an exploration of Nancy’s beautiful true story.

At its core, it’s simply a story about growing up, and about the thrilling and sometimes terrifying few inches between childhood and adulthood.

Ksenia Solo is Lucy, a sheltered, small-town Ohio girl, suddenly slammed by harsh reality. Desperate for answers, she discovers hope in the delightfully bizarre films of Federico Fellini, and sets off on a strange, beautiful journey across Italy to find him.

Rooted in authenticity and rich with symbolism, unfolds like a dream—woven from real Italian locations, true stories, imagined moments, and echoes of Fellini’s films and emotions. It’s a love letter to Italy, a tribute to Fellini, and a reflection of Nancy Cartwright’s beautiful true story. At its heart, it’s a coming-of-age tale about that exhilarating and sometimes daunting space between childhood and adulthood.

The character of Lucy is a reference to Gelsomina from Fellini’s “La Strada.” “Lucy” means “light” and that is one of the ethereal qualities that both Nancy and Fellini saw in their lead characters. Lucy also happens to be the name of Nancy’s real-life daughter who embodies similar ethereal qualities as Lucy/Gelsomina.

Congratulations to Ksenia for winning Best Actress at the Ferrara Film Festival in 2017 for this leading role. 🇮🇹

We were spectacularly fortunate to have Line Producer, Nicola Rosada, and the team at including Production Coordinator, Alvise Fachinetti , Unit Production Manager Stefano Dalla Lana, and Unit/Transport Manager to name a few, to help us get the most stunning locations across Italy. We certainly could not have brought this film to life without them. Highlighted here are stills from the unique and unforgettable Venice. 🇮🇹

We were also incredibly lucky to have Paolo Bernardini play the role of Placido/Zampano.

Paolo also shared his musical talents with us—he performs a song that’s featured in the film! Can you guess which scene? 🎬

Cosima is played by Nancy Cartwright , the Executive Producer and Writer of . Her character was inspired by a homeless man that Nancy met on her adventures through Italy. He had been an actor who had worked as an extra on Fellini’s “Satyricon”, named Cosmo.

Back in 1985, Nancy had no idea that one of her acting teachers recommending Italian director Federico Fellini’s 1954 film “La Strada” would have such a deep impact on her life. After developing a connection to the drama and its characters, she made it her mission to turn it into a one-woman show and even reached out to Fellini himself to gain rights to the movie. But when his office’s response turned her down, she didn’t take “no” for answer, and soon she was in Italy in search of the filmmaker.

“I’d never been to Italy before. I’m in my 20s—though I can’t speak the language. So, I took off. I ate, I drank, I fell in love—I did everything a single woman should and shouldn’t do when visiting. I got in trouble.” says Nancy.

The character Beppi is played by actor Bruno Zanin who played Titta, the lead role in Fellini’s Oscar winning “Amarcord.”
