Liliana is a documentary that gathers Senator-for-life Liliana Segre's testimony of her arrest, deportation, and poignant final farewell to her father. The film is built around the juxtapositions, cross-references, and contrasts between the historical record and a contemporary portrait of one of the most important women on the Italian scene. It highlights lesser-known aspects of the Senator, revealing a modern cultural and political figure who is passionate about conveying a message of freedom and equality to the younger generations.
