LA DONNA CHE RITORNA

Four episodes produced by Endemol Italia for Rai Uno

starring Virna Lisi as a woman searching for her past

After having successfully played the part of Judge Elena Donati in the film entitled

Fidati di me, this time Virna Lisi steps into the shoes of Paola, a woman who has lost her

memory, a woman who is searching for her identity and her past. She is the star of the

new Rai Uno television drama called La donna che ritorna: four episodes produced by

Endemol Italia for Rai Uno, written by Peter Exacoustos and Daniela Bortignoni, directed by

Gianni Lepre.

It all begins in a cold Roman night, when a woman (Virna Lisi) is found as she

aimlessly wanders about the streets of town, both terrified and alone. She doesn’t

remember her own name, she doesn’t speak, she doesn’t know anything at all about

herself. A young police inspector named Marco Leoni (Luca Bastianello) takes care of her

while they wait for someone to recognize the woman. But a man shows up initially in the

police station, his name is Fulvio Silenti (Alessandro Bertolucci) and he claims that she’s his

mother; and 24 hours later, a farmer named Bruno Gedda (Fabio Testi) instead claims that

she’s his wife. The two versions do not match. The woman begins to remember

something, but very slowly and in a helter-skelter way. Unexpectedly, the young police

officer discovers that those flashes of the past that come to her mind contain information

and details that might help him capture a murderer who killed a young girl (a case he was

investigating) and other crimes, perhaps of a serial nature. The two of them therefore

collaborate with each other: a long journey in which the woman will recover herself and

her past, while helping the young police officer not only in his investigations but especially

in finding some self-confidence and love.

Some of the members of the cast are: Barbara Livi, Margherita Tamanti, Valentina

D’Agostino, Enrico Bonucci, Giancarlo Zanetti and the young Gabriele Caprio.

PLOT SYNOPSIS FIRST EPISODE After having wandered aimlessly all night long, a woman (Virna Lisi) is found by the

police in downtown Rome. The woman is visibly frightened and confused. She doesn’t

remember anything about herself, she doesn’t speak, she doesn’t carry any sort of

identification. She is wearing an old mannish-looking coat, an elegant evening gown and a

pair of large worn-out running shoes.

There’s tension in the air at the police station: in fact, that same night the lifeless

body of a Russian model named Katia Malick has been found on a beach off the Roman

shores, in the city of Anzio. She has been strangled to death and her hair has been shaved

off. Perhaps it is a serial crime. Young inspector Marco Leoni (Luca Bastianello) is

banished from the squad that’s investigating into this case because during the night, while

the police was trying to save the girl’s life, he was not to be found. Police Chief Duccio

Mambor (Giancarlo Zanetti), as if to punish him further, decides to hand the case of the

nameless woman over to him. Marco is frustrated, he’d rather go on investigating into the

murder case. Hours go by, yet no one shows up to claim the woman back. Her picture is

released in the newspapers, hoping this might help. Finally, the next day, a high society

couple from Rome comes into the station asking about her. The man, Fulvio Silenti

(Alessandro Bertolucci), recognizes her as his mother: the woman’s name is Paola Silenti.

The woman, although she does not recognize her son or her daughter-in-law Daria

(Barbara Livi), is led off and hospitalized in a posh clinic for a few days, where she will be

treated by Professor Ulpiani (Emilio Bonucci), a doctor and friend of the family. The clinic

makes Paola feels as if she is caged in, under observation and controlled. She still doesn’t

remember anything, just the odd flash with confused images comes to mind. She doesn’t

even recognize her grandson Pietro (Gabriele Caprio), who loves her to bits. But she does

remember one thing: she doesn’t know why, but she’s sure that she has already seen Katia

Malick, the murdered model, recognizing her after accidentally seeing her pictures in the

police station. She confesses this to Marco, with whom she is slowly building up a

relationship of trust and friendship. The young inspector starts looking into the case. He

discovers that on the night she lost her memory, Paola was at a charity dinner close to the

beach where Katia’s body was found. Moreover, the same model previously posed for the

lingerie catalogue published by the company belonging to the Silenti family itself. Just a

coincidence? Marco doesn’t think so. He wants to go all the way, although they continue

to discredit him in the police station. In the meantime, the next day, a man (Fabio Testi)

and his daughter (Valentina D’Agostino) ask for Police Inspector Leoni. The man, who

owns a small farm, shows him the identification papers of a young and very beautiful

woman – Paola as a young girl. “I’ve come to bring Luisa back”, he says, “she’s my wife”.

Who is this mysterious woman suffering from amnesia?

DIRECTOR’S NOTES Some day, we might just open up that suitcase that we all carry along with

ourselves, the one that (a bit crammed and a bit hidden) contains our past.

That’s what happened to me… after reading the four screenplays for “La donna che

ritorna”.

Although the story is about a woman who has to reconstruct her past, in an instant

so many of the things I had forgotten came back to mind. So many of the things that I had

buried, repressed, erased – so much so that I had to check the name on the suitcase to

make sure it was mine and didn’t belong to a complete stranger.

No, it was actually mine!

Yet that mishmash of different memories, of exciting moments, madness, fears,

loves, deaths and ghosts seemed to belong to someone else.

What a mess!

I checked the name on that suitcase one more time: it sure was mine!

Then came the usual commonplace question: but how many lives have I lived?

What kind of person can I truly be if all that stuff is mine? In other words, after reading

the screenplay, after trying to identify myself with the leading character who’s searching for

herself, I found myself in the middle of a thriller of the soul.

So I closed my suitcase of memories back up again, adding a brand new lock with a

secret and safe combination (my year of birth) and said to myself: “Enough with all these

personal dramas, just concentrate on your work and have a good time if you can. Keep

your spirits high and think about the future. Luckily you’ve got one hell of an actress

working with you, no one better than she can give her soul, life and body to the character

in the story”.

And that’s exactly what happened.

Gianni Lepre

He wrote and produced five plays: “Cassandra 2010”, “I segreti di Arlecchino”, “Ragnatela”, “Samson” and “Evaresto”. The latter, which deals with the problems of a community of people suffering from muscular dystrophy whose cast was made up of actors and real sick people, was filmed in an N.R.K. television production and received good reviews in Europe, Australia and India.
