Aria is a nine-year-old girl who no one seems to understand or want. Her parent's get a divorce and her older sisters are pampered by either parent, Lucrezia by her dad and Donatina by her mom. Aria is quite literally tossed between both parents, being kicked out of her mom's to go to her dad's then being kicked out of her dad's to go to back to her mom's and all over again. Aria's only friend Angelica seems to be the only one who understands her, but she too turns against her. Giulla Salemo does a great job at portraying a girl who only wants to be loved by her parents. Her actions show the viewer that she is sincerely attempting to win over the hearts of her self-centered parents. Aria does what any detested nine-year-old would do, she tries to impress her parents with her talent, which for her is writing. The story-line made sense, although it neglected to have a more elaborate one that is why I did not give the film ten stars. Also, there was some repetitiveness in the film that wasn't entirely necessary. Furthermore, it was overall an interesting film to watch.
