The film begins in 1989 in
Sanremo, with a
flashback from the 1970s. Some episodes from her childhood (when her father hits her because she wants to sing and not to study), her artistic career, and family, are spoken during an interview granted to a journalist a few hours before singing at the Festival of 1989. In the 1970s, Mia participated in the
Festivalbar, winning the competition twice, in 1972 and 1973. Then it comes a dramatic period of slander launched in the late 1970s by a producer with whom she refused to work with and who accuses Mia of bringing bad luck. Mia then enters into a troubled love relationship with the Milanese photographer Andrew (inspired by
Ivano Fossati, who did not want to participate in the film) with whom she falls in love with. She has a relationship with him for ten years. The film also evokes the character of the original Anthony who is inspired by
Renato Zero, who also did not want to be mentioned in the movie, just like Fossati. ==Cast==
