SYNOPSIS

Jasmine is 40 and has everything she ever wanted: a devoted husband, three loving sons, and a thriving hair salon just south of Naples. But after her father’s death, she experiences a recurring dream in which a little girl runs into her arms, offering Jasmine a new sense of fulfilment which she can’t ignore. She decides to follow her dream of having a daughter and dives headfirst into the challenging world of international adoption, risking her marriage, her sons’ well-being, and her own moral compass along the way. The entire family is in crisis, until they finally realize that the only way out is together. Based on true events and featuring non-professional actors portraying their own lives, VITTORIA delves deep into the complexities of family dynamics and the seemingly irrational desires of the human psyche. “grounded in an intensely real place but with more than a touch of the fable about a story which is scripted with admirable efficiency” – Screen International
