Un albero disegnato da Marcello Mastroianni, la rabbia e l'orgoglio di Oriana Fallaci dietro le quinte, le lunghe camminate per Roma con Ennio Flaiano. Nella sua carriera Anna Maria Mori ha incrociato nomi altisonanti che hanno sconvolto culturalmente l'ultima metà del Novecento e di cui racconta con sensibilità e acume.
