March 1944. Rome is under the nazi occupation and Elena is a 20, communist woman. We all were communiste, she says, and I wanted to lend a hand. A clandestine partisan group grows up in her house: Paolo, Spartaco, Cola, Mario. They are students, with hidden newspapers in their jackets, and hand made cigarettes in their pockets. Elena plays the piano for them, hiding their meetings in her house. They have an attack to plan: the Bozen command passes everyday on the same street, at the same hour. So it starts: the TNT, the preparation of the bomb, the exact time of the attack. Days of preparation for five minutes of blood and stupidity. Then, the silence.

How and why did I make the Proust armchair? From the mid-1970s, I started thinking about a “Proust fabric”, a fabric arising from the literary inspirations of the great novelist and the paintings of Georges Seurat and Paul Signac. In 1978, I created the first Proust armchair, an object “that is not craft, not design, not painting, not sculpture, but together is the negation of all those things”.

The movie deals with the difficult and delicate issue of violence against women, facing it from the point of view of the search for the own identity and lost dignity. The protagonist is indeed a woman suffering from a severe form of amnesia following a sexual violence and she doesn't remember anything of her life and her past, wandering around the city like a homeless person, in the grip of fear and despair that a similar experience can trigger.
