Plot edit

Chiara is an actress and the daughter of Marcello Mastroianni and Catherine Deneuve. One summer, she tells herself that she should rather live her father's life. She now dresses like him, speaks like him, breathes like him and she delivers it with such command that others around her end up believing it and begin calling her "Marcello".[1]
