The Story of Piera (1983)
Original title: Storia di Piera
The Story of Piera is a 1983 Italian-language drama movie directed by Marco Ferreri, with a running time of 1h 45m. It stars Isabelle Huppert, Hanna Schygulla and Marcello Mastroianni.
Piera is a young woman who grows up under the parentage of two extremely original overseers: both her mother and father have incestuous relations with her before they are committed to insane asylums. A special connection, between a mother and her daughter, full of sensuality and complicity, has allowed to portray a family full of fears, rather unbalanced, but nevertheless searching infinite love.
