Sobre o filme

The unknown one is Irena. She moved many years ago from Ucrania to Italy and today lives between the ghosts of the past and a search for the present. Who, in fact, is Irena? Like so many others she escaped from Eastern Europe. After surviving a cruel and dramatic journey, she was easy prey to an unscrupulous man. She was subjected to indescribable brutality and humiliation that she will never forget. Only one beautiful memory remains: a melancholic lost love. Basically, in spite of the tragic events, her character remains intact. Under an apparently submissive expression, her natural pride and her power to rebel persist unaltered. She accepts the job to work as a cleaning woman in a building. Her intention, however, is to get closer to a family living on the other side of the street. The Adachers work with gold. The family consists of a wife Valeria, a husband, Donato and a little girl Tea. Nothing will prevent Irena from getting a job in that house. Not even murder. The Unknown was awarded the Prize from the Public at the Moscow Film Festival and also five David di Donatello prizes (the official prize for Italian cinema): film, director, actress (Kseniya Rappoport), photography and music.
