Simple Women

"Simple Women" is a deeply personal and poignant drama that explores the complexities of idolatry and the blurred lines between reality and illusion. The film follows a young director, Federica, who has always been fascinated by the enigmatic actress Elina Löwensohn, known for her striking roles in independent cinema. Despite her own struggles with epilepsy, Federica is determined to make a film about Elina's life, from her childhood in communist Romania to her cult-movie stardom in America. As the two women collaborate, they discover that the real Elina bears little resemblance to the idol Federica had built up in her mind. The film's production is marked by tension and disappointment, as the idols they had placed on pedestals begin to crumble. But just when all hope seems lost, the film takes a surprising turn, and what emerges is a powerful, raw, and unforgettable portrayal of womanhood.
