Glad the Hummingbird is crossing the Atlantic and flying to Toronto, a beautiful festival that opens far and unexpected markets. It’s a movie I made with all my heart, based on a novel I loved so much that I consider it part of my biography.
Short content:
It is the story of the life of Marco Carrera, “the hummingbird”, a life of fatal coincidences, losses and absolute loves. The story follows the power of memories that allow us to jump from one period to another, from one era to another, in a fluid time that spans from the early 1970s to the near future. It is by the sea that Marco meets Luisa Lattes, a beautiful and unusual girl. A love that will never be consumed and will never disappear, for a lifetime. His married life will be another life, in Rome, together with Marina and his daughter Adele. Marco returns to Florence, thrown away by an inexorable fate, which puts him to very severe tests. Daniele Carradori, Marina’s psychoanalyst, will protect him from the most violent shocks, teaching Marco how to welcome the most unexpected changes of direction.
