Jasmine is a working-class Neapolitan mother. In Casey Kaufmann and Alessandro Cassigoli’s film, based on Jasmine’s life, we chart her relentless journey to adopt an orphan girl from Belarus – overcoming both official bureaucracy and her family’s objections. A variation on the hybrid docu-drama, the film has people recreating a momentous chapter in their own lives. It won the Arca CinemaGiovani and FEDIC awards at the Venice Film Festival.
