Director Statement
"In the genesis of conceiving 'Dolce Mia,' I found myself immersed in the profound exploration of my familial roots, tracing back my lineage that extends all the way back to 15th-century France. The contemplation of the individuals who preceded us, navigating the tapestry of their existence replete with triumphs and tribulations, evokes a profound sense of fascination. It is the acknowledgment that their lived experiences, their resilience in the face of adversities, and their moments of unbridled joy have collectively contributed to shaping the essence of our present selves.
