Marta, a young and inexperienced actress, is terrified of the weight of her next role: Niobe, the mythic mother whose grief turned her to stone — a part immortalized decades ago by Lali, a legendary star who has since retreated into a reclusive, silent life. Driven to find the emotional truth of a tragedy she hasn't lived, Marta tracks down the retired icon, only to be met with a cold refusal.
What follows is a haunting confrontation between two generations of women before a shared mirror. As Lali's silence cracks, a devastating secret surfaces: her legendary performance was never an act, but a survival tactic. Marta comes to realize that "reaching immortality" isn't a triumph — it is a life trapped behind a curtain, a memory too heavy to move.
SpecificationsOriginally from Georgia and now based in Rome, Liza has spent over half her life on film and television sets — from a 13-year-old studio runner up through production assistant, scriptwriter, and creative producer. Over a decade in Tbilisi she managed more than 25 productions as an editing director and director of documentary TV series.
After moving to Rome in 2023 and earning her MA in Film Arts with honors from RUFA, she stepped quickly into the Italian industry — including work on two recent feature films starring Al Pacino. She combines a background in sociology with a veteran producer's grit to make films about the hidden layers of human behavior.
