Lorenza Mazzetti's extraordinary life story touches many points in twentieth century history. The adopted daughter of the Einstein family emigrated to London in the 1950s and applied to the Slade School of Fine Art with the reason "Because I'm a genius!" Mazzetti is also one of the most important representatives of the Free Cinema movement.
Brighid Lowe’s new, intimate documentary, made with Henry K. Miller, builds around candid interviews with Mazzetti herself, to provide new insights about the Italian’s life of love and trauma and the unparalleled efforts she expended to make films in 1950s London.
