Calcinculo, a kind of sisterhood
Chiara Bellosi, already author of the dramedy Palazzo di giustizia in 2020, has come to the Berlinale again this year with her second feature, Calcinculo. Benedetta (Gaia Di Pietro), a shy 15-year-old who is harassed by her mother Anna for being overweight, finds refuge in the caravan of her new friend Amanda (Andrea Carpenzano), a young man with a fluid sexual identity and a dissolute lonely life. We met the director to talk about the many threads that run through the film.
