Looking for Paradise: The Wedding

The venue where Claudia (Buy) and Adam (Ovadia) get married is the Villa Reale in Milan (Villa Belgioioso) at Via Palestro 16 in Milan, where the Galleria d'Arte Moderna is housed. This can be seen as the guests leave the hall, where the wedding is celebrated, into the adjoining courtyard.

PLOT
From a text by Giuseppe Pontiggia, Storie di uomini poco illustri. The story of Claudia, born in 1949, who goes through all the experiences of a ‘free’ woman. She begins with Sixty-Eight, occupying the university but without understanding the essence of the movement. She wants to be deflowered by the student leader but falls back on Lello Arena. She tries ‘smoking’ and more believes in free sex, and gets pregnant, of course without knowing whose. Cyclically she returns to her parents, traumatized, but patient and decent, and of course, treated badly. The baby is born, black. Claudia leaves again. She runs into a mystical puppeteer and marries him. She falls back on bourgeois life, but not for long. She goes as a missionary to Africa where she finds yet another ‘guru’, with poor Lello always at her disposal..
