"We know ourselves only as far as we’ve been tested".
Wislawa Szymborska

I am Chiara and I am not a warrior. I am a ordinary woman who has encountered cancer. what a shock....
I never thought about dying. I just thought that you had to work well to survive. So, I got to work.
I am a director movie and storytelling is my job. Immersing myself in the world and being one with the people I interview, whom I tell about. This time one of the protagonists was me, my representation passed through that of my friends who went through chemotherapy with me.
Women who suddenly lose their hair, lose energy, beauty, often even love. Yes, because love is too often afraid of the disease and flies away. I have seen so many women abandoned by love at the moment of their need and it has happened to me too.
However it has worked.
I told the stories of Laura, Giulia, Alessandra, Vanda... each of them with their own wound, but all united by the same goal. To stay in the world.
And with the exception of Stefania, she has gone, we are all still here. Not warriors, but ordinary women.
