Private Project

The Forgotten Rose

Fiammetta lives in a small village clinging to the mountain, she is ten years old and has a dream: to become an opera singer. When she doesn't have to help her mother with the flower shop, she goes behind the scenes of the theater near her home to spy on the rehearsals. One day Fiammetta has to make a delivery and walks with her friend Rocco through the labyrinthine streets of the town. But suddenly they run into a strange house ...the home of a Witch! Fiammetta is attracted to something that glitters on the table: a pair of theater binoculars. She looks inside it and see herself as young woman, standing in the middle of a big stage with a bouquet of red roses in her hand, blinded by the spotlights. The seasons pass, the flowers bloom...
