  • The panel discussed how female directors and writers are now having a

more significant impact in the industry than in the past, but more progress still needs to be made. According to Noelle Carbone, creating strong female roles should not be defined as putting a male character in a dress. Instead, the building of the character should be written based on female strengths. The panel also discussed the belief that women supporting each other help everyone to succeed in the industry.

In this film, Valeria Tramonti (Micaela Ramazzotti), a 40-year-old assistant to a film producer, is the secret ghostwriter for the
charismatic screenwriter, Alessandro Pes (Alessandro Gassmann), who
suffers from writer’s block. Valeria is entranced by him and pines for his
love. She lives in the same building as her mother, Amalia Roberti (Laura
Morante), a literature specialist who also happens to be a ghostwriter for the
Minister of Culture, Arturo Onofri (Renato Scarpa). Alessandro is now under
pressure from the film producer, who has signed the famous director, Jerzy
Kunze (Jerzy Skolimowski), and needs to provide a brilliant script. He begs
Valeria to come up with the story. Besotted by him, she agrees.

Valeria與母親Laura Morante所飾演的Amalia Roberti居住在同一棟樓,而母親恰巧也是文化部長Arturo Onofri(Renato Scarpa所飾演)的代筆作家。 Alessandro被知名導演Jerzy Kunze (Jerzy Skolimowski飾演)的電影製片人施壓,要求他寫出出色的劇本,於是他向Valeria求救,Valeria也答應。

  • Valeria then meets the very mysterious Alberto Rak (Renato Carpentieri),

a retired policeman who tells her the tale of the theft of the famous painting, “Nativity with Saints Lawrence and Francis” by Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio from the Oratory of San Lorenzo in
Palermo on October 17, 1969. The painting has never been seen since but long believed to have been stolen by the Cosa Nostra. Valeria writes an intriguing script based on this mystery yet finds herself and others in danger while she works with Alberto to find the painting. In the process, Valeria becomes a confident woman who learns to find her own voice and ultimately receive the accolades she rightfully deserves. And Alessandro becomes repentant and also realizes that Valeria is the one he truly wants.

這幅畫雖然從此以後就再也沒被見過,但長期以來一直被認為是被Cosa Nostra黑手黨偷走。 Valeria藉此謎題寫出一齣有趣的劇本,但在與Alberto一起調查這件案子時卻發現將自己和他人陷於危險之中。 整個過程中,Valeria成長並蛻變成一名充滿自信的女性,學會尋找自己的聲音,最終並獲得應得的榮譽。 Alessandro 也從中知錯悔改,發現Valeria才是他的真愛。
