Identification of a Woman

Niccolò, a film director recently separated from his wife, embarks on a quest to find the right woman to star in his next project. This journey leads him to two different women: Mavi, a seductive and mysterious aristocrat, and Ida, a younger, more down-to-earth actress. Niccolò's initial encounter with Mavi is filled with intense attraction and intrigue, and she soon becomes both his lover and muse. However, their relationship is fraught with emotional volatility, and Mavi's erratic behavior starts to unsettle him. As he delves deeper into her enigmatic world, Niccolò finds himself confronted by a shadowy threat that forces him to reconsider his relationships and the meaning behind his creative pursuits.

Simultaneously, Niccolò forms a connection with Ida, who contrasts greatly with Mavi in her straightforwardness and sincerity. While his time with Ida offers moments of genuine affection and understanding, Niccolò remains torn between the passionate chaos of his relationship with Mavi and the calm stability with Ida. His inability to reconcile these two aspects of his life begins to take a toll on his professional aspirations and personal well-being. Throughout this tumultuous journey, Niccolò grapples with questions of identity, desire, and artistic inspiration, all while searching for a sense of direction in both his career and his heart. As pressures mount, the complexities of his relationships reveal deeper truths about his own self and the nature of human connection.
