This surprisingly open and revealing documentary follows two years in the private life of a minister. Marilyn Sewell is successful and beloved in the pulpit, but behind the scenes she is lonely and yearning for change. As she considers leaving the ministry, she realizes she will be leaving her only social network. Yet when she falls in love for the first time, she realizes she does not trust intimacy. A study in contrasts, Marilyn must rely on raw faith as she questions her future, her difficult past, her God, and most importantly... her ability to love.

The True Story of Luisa Bonfanti is a particular film that moves on the border between the documentary and the fictional film. In fact, using the narrative mechanism of the "mockumentary", La Vera Storia by Luisa Bonfanti wants to tell the golden age of Italian cinema and a season of political struggles between the sixties and the early eighties. Luisa Bonfanti is a fictional character who wants to represent the many women who dreamed of success in the glittering world of film. In her path, Luisa meets some of the real protagonists of that unrepeatable season such as Ettore Scola and Citto Maselli. The film mixes original footage, with repertoire material from film archives to reach the truth of an era and an unforgettable character.
