«After growing up at the court of Charles V in France, where her father was court astrologer and physician, the Italian Cristina da Pizzano, also known as Christine de Pisan, is left completely destitute during the struggle between the Armagnacs and the Burgundians. Forced to survive by her wits amidst the dregs of society, Cristina discovers she has a talent for poetry thanks to Charleton, a minstrel who tours the taverns, and Gerson, a theologist. Stefania Sandrelli makes her directing debut with a true story about the gentle sex (but she wrote the script with Giacomo Scarpelli and Marco Tiberi, under Furio Scarpelli's supervision). She wanted to capture " the Middle Ages according to women, with their colours, their lullabies, their human warmth. Cristina becomes a writer when that career was precluded to women, and just because she has to make a virtue of necessity. A magical adventure that completely won me over, one that I can relate to." The Cristina of the title is played by Sandrelli's own daughter, Amanda». [Cinema e Medioevo]
