Where it was filmed '8 1/2'

The story moves between reality, dreams and memories which become indistinguishable. Guido (Marcello Mastroianni) remembers an episode from his time in college in Viterbo when he escapes to Isola Sacra, Fiumicino (RM) to join La Saraghina, a prostitute, on the beach.

A mixture of dream and memory colours his relationship with his parents who are in the family tomb, built in the Area Militare of Cecchignola, in the EUR-Laurentina neighbourhood. This area was also the location for the spa, modelled on the Casinò “Paradiso del Mare” in Anzio, where Guido is spending a rest period. The spaceship referred to as a set for Guido’s next film was built on via dell'Idroscalo in Lido di Ostia (RM) while the ex-Cinema Teatro Italia in Tivoli provided several internal locations.

The film ends with Guido taking Claudia (Cardinale) to Filacciano, a small village on the outskirts of Rome, to outline her role in the film and to confess his confusion.
