Interviewed by a Japanese TV crew for a news report on his latest film, Fellini takes the viewer behind the scenes at Cinecittà. A nighttime set is prepared for a sequence that Fellini defines as “the prisoner’s dream” in which his hands grope for a way out of a dark tunnel. With advancing age and weight, Fellini is finding it difficult to escape by simply flying away but when he does, he contemplates Cinecittà from a great height.

Les médias modernes aiment à se proclamer « contre-pouvoir », et se vanter de leur « indépendance », se constituant en rempart de la liberté de parole et de pensée. Pourtant, la grande majorité des journaux, des radios et des chaînes de télévision appartiennent à des groupes industriels ou financiers intimement liés au pouvoir économique et politique. Au sein d’un périmètre idéologique minuscule se multiplient les informations pré-mâchées, les intervenants permanents, les notoriétés indues, les affrontements factices et les renvois d’ascenseur.

Elena moves to New York with the same dream her mother had: to become a movie actress. She leaves behind a childhood spent in hiding during Brazil’s military dictatorship and her teenage years amid theater plays and homemade videos. She also leaves behind Petra, her 7-year-old sister. Two decades later, Petra also becomes an actress and goes to New York in search of Elena. All she has are a few clues about her: home movies, newspaper clippings, diaries and letters. At any moment, Petra expects to find Elena walking in the streets. Gradually, the features of the two sisters are confused; we don’t know one from the other.
