FORTUNATA
They call her the Fortunate One – of does she call herself that? She's raising eight-year-old Babara by herself. Occasionally Barbara's cop dad rumbles into their lives for a while. Fortunata wants to open a hairdresser's salon, wants Barbara to have it all. Her therapist slowly infiltrates Fortunata's heart and daily life. Which is against the rules, of course. The Lucky One has to let him tell her she's on a war path with everything and everyone. But isn't that just the way it is when you're on your own? Jasmine Trinca won Best Actress in the Un certain regard sidebar at Cannes.
