Laura Pausini's announcement
"For some time now, I had been receiving proposals for a film project but I couldn't find anything so special to devote time and energy to ," said the artist. « I was looking for something innovative in the scenarios they offered me but I felt no urgency to tell me. Then, in February 2020, I met Amazon Studios, and during one of our meetups, I realized there was something I had never said, something I cared about and wanted to finally share." "I am happy that they immediately enthusiastically supported my artistic idea. We will try to tell it in the way that I find most sincere, as I have always done with music, this time with all the passion I have for cinema. Shortly before the Golden Globe victory, I started working with one of the Italian writers and directors I respect the most and, from our collaboration, was born this madness that I am about to face with great dedication and that, I am sure, will even amaze! ».
