MoviesIt is easier for a camel… To do what? To make a good film than it is for Valeria Bruni-Tedeschi? Well actually it is a quote of Jesus, whos said that it is easier for a camel to get through the eye of a needle than it is for rich people to go to heaven. And Federica (Valeria Bruni-Tedeschi) is very rich, so she is very afraid that she won’t go to heaven. The film meanders on around the ugly faced Federica and her slightly better looking family members (in real life Valeria’s sister Carla is a topmodel, and Michael Jagger’s ex-girlfriend). She is not able to get a serious life, because she feels so guilty. She writes theatre plays, but that is, according to her boyfried, just a hobby, and not a job.
