A Marilyn Monroe that you do not expect, that you have never seen, that you have never heard: curious, sensitive, fragile, poetic, immersed in a reality, that of the Hollywood industry, which wanted her sexy, ditzy, glossy and happy. The words, hers and those of the world around her, build, in a close dialectical and creative relationship with the sounds, an emotional and engaging web that makes us a story in which beauty, talent and success transfigure into tragedy. Don’t talk about me, an unprejudiced reinterpretation, far from stereotypes and clichés, of the human and professional vicissitudes of an absolute icon, the most desired woman in the world who dies alone at the age of thirty-six.
