The Italian Cultural Institute, in collaboration with MiBACT and with the cultural association Controluce, proposes the film’s vision Tulipani: Love, Honor and a Bicycle by Mike Van Diem.
A young Canadian-Italian woman named Anna (Ksenia Solo) goes on a fantastical voyage to Puglia after the jarring event of her mother’s death. In the process of discovering her roots, our protagonist learns about the unlikely story of her parentage, one which includes a foolishly ambitious Dutchman, a booming tulip business, violent extortionists, a pan-European bicycle ride, and even an exploding cave.
