A Simple Story Me, Myself and Her

Mia is a young woman who leaves her small hometown in Umbria, Italy, to start a new life in New York. Day by day, through backbreaking work shifts and endless passion, she carves her space within the art world of the Big Apple. Among the sparkling mundanity, the drugs, the pleasures of food and the hypocrisy of her new world, Mia manages to nourish genuine friendships, find true love and build a family. But not all dreams are meant to last forever, and Mia will soon be faced with the most unbearable pain a mother can experience, and will have to appeal to her inner strength to put her life back on track.

The narrative voice of this Simple Story is Angela, Mia's daughter. In a humorous, innocent but real tone, she will take you into her and her mother's life, and touch the most sensitive cords of your soul.
