Melmaridè (divorced in dialect) is the story of group of women from Piacenza, a small city in the north of Italy, who challenged the dis¬dain of their families of the institutions joining the voices of the wider international feminist movement; they founded a Feminist Collective first and later started a public women’s health clinic and counselling center. The clinic was a self-directed, self-financed and free of charge struc¬ture that offered information on birth control, medical examinations, and help getting an abortion, when abortion was still illegal in Italy.

Maria Irene Fornes was one of America's greatest playwrights and most influential teachers, but many know her only as the ex-lover of writer and social critic Susan Sontag. The visionary Cuban-American dramatist constructed astonishing worlds onstage, writing over 40 plays and winning nine Obie Awards. At the vanguard of the nascent Off-Off Broadway experimental theater movement in NYC, Fornes is often referred to as American theater's "Mother Avant-Garde." When she gradually stops writing due to dementia, an unexpected friendship with filmmaker Michelle Memran reignites her spontaneous creative spirit and triggers a decade-long collaboration that picks up where the pen left off.
