Maria Montessori + Inne i överläraren Irina von Martens stora hjärna
La nouvelle femme + Inside the Big Brain of Head Teacher Irina von Martens
Screenings
"I hadn’t managed to produce a beautiful baby". For Lili d’Alengy (Leïla Bekhti), a Parisian courtesan perfectly at her ease in games and lounges of seduction, the reappearance of her daughter Tina (Rafaelle Sonneville-Caby), at nine years of age, is nothing short of a catastrophe. Scared of what people will say, she flees to Rome with her child who she introduces as "the daughter of my cousin, an idiot". There, she’s told about an institution which looks after “cases” like hers, and she meets Maria Montessori (the charismatic Jasmine Trinca) who manages the establishment with her partner Giuseppe (Raffaele Esposito). Little by little, these two women, who each bear their own psychological burdens relating to motherhood, get to know one another and form an alliance in a world where the premises of a feminist and pedagogical revolution are taking shape, which doesn’t come without hopes, obstacles and sacrifices…
