攝影師兒子渴望拍攝母親，視她為自己「最初也最愛的模特兒」，但母親貝妮德妲渴望消失，遠離俗世塵囂與物質科技。她是超級名模，曾是藝術家達利及安迪．沃荷等人的謬思，她也曾是激進女性主義者，熱衷女性解放運動。年事漸高的她，決心拋下一切，遁逃到無人知曉之處。如今他想拍一部關於母親的電影，母子關係劍拔弩張又如膠似漆，那些她不願被留下的影像，又能呈現多少真實？


Benedetta wants to disappear. As iconic fashion model in the 1960's, she became a muse to Warhol, Dali, Pen and Avedon. As radical feminist in the 1970's, she fought for the rights and emancipation of women. But at the age of 75, she became fed up with all the roles that life imposed upon her and decides to leave everything and everybody behind, to disappear to an unknown place as far as possible from this world. Hiding behind the camera, her son Beniamino witnesses her journey. Having filmed her since he was a kid in spite of all her resistance, he now wants to make a film about her, to keep her close for as long as possible - or, at least, as long as his camera keeps running. The making of the film turns into a battle between mother and son, a stubborn fight to capture the ultimate image of Benedetta - the image of her liberation.
