Plot:
At the end of the First World War, as Italy lays to rest its Unknown Soldier, the great Eleonora Duse reaches the twilight of her legendary career. Yet despite her age and fragile health, the woman many consider the greatest actress of her time decides to return to the stage. Her daughter's reproaches, her complex relationship with the poet D'Annunzio, the rise of fascism, and Mussolini's ascent to power-nothing will stop Duse, "the Divine."
