There are three main moments in a day. Same happens for mainly everything that surrounds us: the sun’s movement or one’s life. We all have a past, we live in a nowadays present, we strive for a positive future - we can’t of course see it but we hope it has got big plans for us. A day with Larissa Iapichino is a joyful portrait of three daily moments of our beyond-the-ordinary protagonist within her own city: exuberant Florence. The places she cherishes the most, a funny anecdote, a reason why, an unexpected truth. Why does she love this place, how does she feel…if life were a catwalk which looks would match with her favorite place. It’s a bright Florentine morning, sun’s beams deliver a dreamy atmosphere.
