A Season with Isabella Rossellini follows the actress playfully moving forward. She redefines what life looks like as one ages. Shot over the course of a season, "A Season with Isabella Rossellini" unveils Isabella Rossellini's unique charm and playful nature, following her in Italy on the set of Alice Rohrwacher's "La Chimera," as she rehearses her new monologue "Darwin's Smile" in France and in Spain, sits for a beauty commercial in Los Angeles on her 70th birthday, and back home at Mama Farm, for the shearing of a rare species of sheep with environmentally conscious young fashion designers. The documentary is a moment spent one-to-one with Isabella, when life suddenly picks up and accelerates after the pandemic. Isabella follows her curiosity across many fields. In Long Island where she lives, she welcomes a new flock of cashmere goats and raises various breeds of chickens. She earned her master's degree in animal behavior in her fifties and has merged this long-time passion into her work as a creator. While traveling in Italy, Isabella reminisces about her debut as a young reporter for "L'Altra Domenica," and visits old friends from Tuscany. The daughter of Ingrid Bergman and Neorealist filmmaker Roberto Rossellini thinks about her parents every day, and meanwhile continues to reinvent her life beyond the legacy of her family. —Rome Film Fest
