«Fascino» by Frances Sapphire

The docu-film “Fascino” has the unique charm of director Frances Sapphire’s daring gaze on a female universe crossed by love, intrigue, and jealousy.

During the beauty contest “Mediterranean Charm” the stories of women and men of different ages and backgrounds meet and collide, each of them is brought there by a personal desire, but is destined to come out transformed in some way.
The sumptuous but always sincere direction of Sapphire is a sort of magnifying glass aimed at a microcosm inhabited by a vast humanity, in which personal and common dynamics reveal much more to us than it might initially seem.

Hovering between reality and dream, it will be difficult not to recognize a little of ourselves in the colorful characters whose aspirations and disappointments we follow, to rejoice in their successes and suffer from their pain.
