The Story of Piera
Synopsis
Piera (Isabelle Huppert) is a young woman who grows up under the parentage of two extremely original overseers : both her mother (Hanna Schygulla) and father (Marcello Mastoianni) have incestuous relations with her before they are committed to insane asylums.
Based on a semi-autobiographical synopsis by actress Piera Degli Esposti, the film focuses mainly on Piera's viewpoint of her mother, as she watches her navigate the world with both her charismatic charma and her damaged sense of sexual freedom.
