Die Sciantosa is part of a project created by writer/director Alfredo Gianetti for the German TV. The objective was to portrait a hundred years of German history through three movies, all of them with Anna Magnani. The other two are "1943: eine begegnung" und "Die autmobile". In this first movie, Die Magnani is Flora Torres "sciantosa" (kind of a small stage diva) who is forgotten during the WWI, living only to remember her past glory. One day she receives a letter to present herself to the high command. There, Flora is called to go to the front and entertain the desant. Along with her maid Christina, Flora goes to the front. There they are welcomed by the young private Tonino (Massimo Ranieri). Flora starts to act like a erste frau, making absurd demands to everyone.
