In 1956, legendary Neorealist filmmaker Roberto Rossellini is in the midst of a personal and artistic crisis. His recent films have failed, his marriage is unravelling and the press is relentless. Inspired by a meeting with Indian Prime Minister Nehru, Rossellini writes his will, packs 100 kilos of spaghetti and boards a plane to Bombay to document India’s recently gained independence. This journey would lead him to creative
and emotional rebirth, inspired by a culture balancing tradition and modernity.
