The Story of Piera

1983 · 105 min

A slow, unsettling family portrait that lingers in uncomfortable intimacy and fragile tenderness, demanding patience and emotional openness.

Overview: Piera is a young woman who grows up under the parentage of two extremely original overseers: both her mother and father have incestuous relations with her before they are committed to insane asylums. A special connection, between a mother and her daughter, full of sensuality and complicity, has allowed to portray a family full of fears, rather unbalanced, but nevertheless searching infinite love.
How it feels: Melancholic, dark, earnest and tense. Slow-burning and demanding.
About: Family, identity, madness, sexuality
Content: Strong sexual content. Mild violence and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
