“Eileen, a scriptwriter, has been writing letters to Federico Fellini who has become her friend, mentor and means of escape. Various rejections lead her to lose her grip on reality and retreat into her own world with one last hope: join Federico in Cinecittà with the two men she loves.”

Fiction, 24min. 16mm, 1992 Pandora Films Production.

“Un film ou le réel et l’imaginaire s’entrecroisent” Robert Lévesque, Le Devoir.
