Filmmaker Alessandro Cassigoli and journalist Casey Kauffman team up for their fourth feature-length collaboration, a powerful portrait of a woman navigating the vagaries of international adoption. Hairdresser Jasmine (Marilena Amato, a non-professional actress playing a version of herself) lives in Naples with her husband and three sons; following her father’s death, Jasmine has a recurring dream of a young girl running into her arms, and these dreams set in motion a quest for her to find this girl, risking her family’s tenuous stability in the process. A fascinating and complex work that uses reenactment to blur the lines between fiction and documentary, Vittoria is a deeply moving investigation into the maternal instinct and the psychological intricacies of adoption. The film had its world premiere in the Orizzonti Extra program at the 2024 Venice Film Festival.
