Director's statement

“Edith is a one-of-a-kind film project. The young Hungarian dancer was in fact only 16 years old when she was interned in Auschwitz together with her whole family. Her great passion is dance. On our set the story, inspired by real events, is entrusted to a dance troupe of very young dancers from the prestigious Liceo Coreutico "Tito Livio" in Milan. At their side is a team of professionals with proven experience in the cinema-television sector: all to give shape to a combination of great expressive power capable of giving this feature a profound evocative power and the ability to shake consciences."
