‘The Favorite Daughters’ is the title of the feature film produced by Lucky Red (author Amedeo Guarnieri) and currently in development, presented in the ‘Pitching Forum’ section of MIA|Cinema Mercato internazionale dell’Audiovisivo, presently taking place in Rome.
Directed by Lucrezia Le Moli Munck, the film is set in 1800 Venice and tells the story of a group of young musicians venerated as rock stars but rejected by the society as orphans, illegitimate, and as such locked up in the Pietà, the largest city orphanage. Secluded as nuns and punished for any tiniest mistake or apparent misbehavior, Bianca, Apollonia and Matilda are the protagonists of a story set in mystery, since no one could ever see the girls who were the best senior musicians at their school. The director has already realized other documentaries (among which, “L’Italia del nostro scontento”) and her screenplay “Le figlie di Coro” is the winner of a Special Mention at the Solinas Award.
