The tragic story of an artist who hitchhiked across Europe to demand peace.

In March 2008, Italian artist Pippa Bacca embarked on a performance that was as daring as it was full of good intentions: she hitchhiked from Milan to Jerusalem dressed as a bride, in a sort of anti-war pilgrimage through countries where the traces of war are still palpable, as a way of demanding peace and universal love, represented by the white dress. A decade later, French author Nathalie Léger, overwhelmed by Bacca's story and its fatal outcome, decided to investigate the reasons that led the young woman to undertake such a dangerous journey.

While advancing in her investigation, Léger visits her own mother for a few days and discovers her urgent desire to reveal to her the humiliating and unjust treatment she had to endure during her father's divorce proceedings in the seventies, and asks her to give voice to this truth.

Using the symbolism of the white dress as a starting point and with the precision and clairvoyance to which we are accustomed, Nathalie Léger links two stories of women who apparently have no relation and, with a beautiful, subtle and reflective style, highlights the importance – both in the family environment and in art – of finding a story that does us justice.
