21st European Union Film Festival
In Italian, with subtitles in English
Mi chiamo Maya (My name is Maya) is the story
of Niki, a sixteen year old, who, after the sudden death of her mother Lena,
flees the family home that houses her to go and live with the social worker
Cecilia Fornari, carrying her little sister Alice with her. It will be a
journey in search of freedom through known and unknown Roman worlds and in the
balance between highs and rebellion, punctuated by meetings with different
people of which the director tells true stories collected by the screenwriter
Massimo Bavastro: the unconventional Cubist Sara, the spoiled Elizabeth, the street
artist Marc Bresson and punk Bea. An “initiatory journey” which,
with great difficulty, will carry Niki and Alice towards a new life.
