It is the night between July 15 and 16, 1935. Ida Dalser, just escaped from the asylum, alone, at night, travels the road from Pergine Valsugana to her sister's house in Sopramonte, a small hamlet of Trento. Like in a dark fairy tale, she crosses a forest and weaves her grand finale: at her sister's house, she will find her love, Benito Mussolini, who will save her. This is how stories must end. In a stream of consciousness that flows without pauses, she retraces her life and imagines a parallel reality, very far from the one that will lead her to death in a couple of years.
Ida Dalser, considered Benito Mussolini's first wife, was committed to an asylum by him – and the regime – where she would die in 1937. How could such an accomplished woman, who leaves Sopramonte to open an important beauty center in Milan, sell everything for the love of Mussolini? What does she see in this man to sacrifice everything for him, and why do many women have the desire to find a man in whom to annihilate themselves? Where does this desire come from?
Her story with Dalser is emblematic of Mussolini's relationship with women: for Mirella Serri (Mussolini has done a lot for women), it is in fascism that one finds the root of the state machismo that still continues to influence us today. “Mussolini had developed an anti-feminine hostility that he expressed in laws and prohibitions. The gender stereotypes imposed as a way of life during the Ventennio are established as difficult-to-die models, destined to mark the history of the twentieth century and to influence even the 2000s.”
