Rebecca is born with a birthmark that covers half of her face. Her mother’s shame forces her into a life of isolation, but as she grows older, Rebecca learns to stand up to her mother. When she discovers a talent for music, her life takes a new turn, though her mother's shadow continues to loom over her. With a script by veteran Marco Bellocchio, The Life Apart explores the intense tension within a turbulent family. Marco Tullio Giordana, best known for The Best of Youth, again tackles themes of growth, passion, and self-realization.
