In the heart of Rome's Jewish ghetto during WWII, one woman's defiance became an act of heroism that history nearly forgot. This powerful historical drama tells the true story of Elena Di Porto, a fiercely independent Roman Jewish woman who defied fascism and risked everything to save lives. Branded "Elena the Crazy" for her scandalous rejection of social norms (she smoked, wore trousers, played billiards, and refused to be silenced) Elena became a relentless thorn in the side of the fascist regime that threatened her community's very existence.
