The Lovers Film Festival's tribute to Lucy Salani shortly after her death. Based on her autobiographical book (Il mio nome è Lucy. L'italia del XX secolo nei ricordi di una transessuale), this documentary gives us an intimate portrait of the author herself, who endured the years of Fascism and the dreadful experience of being interned in Dachau. The only Italian trans woman who survived the horror of Nazi-Fascism. She became a symbol of the Italian Transgender movement thanks to the inestimable political value of her life.
