Mythical Naples, full of legend, emotion and life, has been attracting sailors, tourists and artists for thousands of years. Parthenope is born in the water of the bay of one of the city's villas - a beautiful newborn girl who, even as a newborn, is baptised with Naples' ancient name. Following her episodic life story, which spans decades, we are transported to places and people that ordinary mortals never get to: Parthenopé's unearthly beauty opens the doors to the most guarded secrets, the American writer, the arrogant bishop, the burnt-out actress, the Neapolitan aristocracy or her own teacher, the reclusive anthropology professor, all reveal themselves to her. It's up to Parthenope to decide what to do with the secrets she discovers, whether they will bring her closer to the happiness she longs for.
From the Oscar-winning director of The Great Beauty, Youth and The Young Couple, Paolo Sorrentino's latest film is a true love letter to his hometown, the stunningly beautiful and diverse Naples, as he searches for answers to life's big questions, as he is known to do.
