I met Marcella in 1998. She was a remote person at the time: a political figure in Bologna, president of Transsexual Identity Movement. I never would have imagined that we would become friends. I started to understand who Marcella was as I stood by her side in her dynamic life as an activist; we traveled across Italy, went to pride parades, to interviews and political campaigns, and participated to the committees she was involved in with such unparalleled generosity. Through those experiences, I listened to her life stories and discovered her vulnerability hidden behind her explosive strength, her complexity, her charisma, and her courage. From the very first time we met, I knew that she was a historical figure. That's why, the day after she died, I decided to make this movie.
