This historical drama tells the true story of Elena Di Porto, a rebellious Jewish woman in Rome’s ghetto during World War II. Known for defying social norms and openly confronting fascist authorities, Elena was repeatedly arrested yet refused to remain silent. As Nazi control tightened in 1943, she joined the resistance and discovered plans for a mass roundup of Rome’s Jews. Racing through the streets, she tried to warn her neighbours and save lives. Branded “Elena the Crazy,” her courage and defiance made her a threat to the regime. The film honours her extraordinary bravery and lasting impact on the history of Rome’s Jewish community.
