On the day her latest film, La Chimera, was selected for the 2023 Cannes Festival, Isabella Rossellini was welcoming a new bunch of cashmere goats at her Mama Farm, on Long Island, New York. The daughter of unforgettable actress Ingrid Bergman and Italian filmmaker Roberto Rossellini is an unusual combination of worlds, a sophisticated European with a rich family history and an American pioneer with a 28-acre sustainable farm. She is an actress who has picked controversial roles, an author with a surrealist eye and a very funny popular performer. She is a beauty icon and a dedicated animal rights activist. Isabella Rossellini has played in seminal films such as Blue Velvet and Wild at Heart, but also taken on the role of producer, writer, and director. She is the sole actress of animal- themed viral TV series Green Porno, Mammas, Seduce Me, and a model, a global brand ambassador, a farmer and environmentalist. How did she become such an original and unique voice, a source of inspiration for positive change, whether she is speaking about preserving nature or growing old ? Shot over the course of a season, this documentary unveils the unique charm and playfulness of Isabella Rossellini, following her on the Italian set of Alice Rohrwacher's movie, on stage in French and Spanish theaters, on the Los Angeles set of a commercial on her 70th birthday and during the shearing of a rare species of sheep with environmentally-conscious young fashion designers.
