Come un fiore is a 2023 Italian short film, written and directed by Benedicta Boccoli. It stars Gisella Burinato, Fulvia Lorenzetti and Gaia Zucchi.[1]; [2]
Plot
On a Mediterranean beach, a young girl meets a group of women resembling Greek goddesses who celebrate their femininity.
Production
The short film takes inspiration from the summers the director spent in Formentera during her childhood. During a stay on the island, the young Benedicta sees a woman on the beach who has had a breast removed following a mastectomy. What deeply impressed the young girl was that the woman had adorned her surgical scars with flowers rather than trying to hide them, thereby expressing a form of acceptance of her body.[3]
