Katia Bernardi is the director of the documentary Funne (Sea Dreaming Girls), shot in Trentino.


A group of elderly women who live in a tiny village up in the mountains, Daone, decide to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their local club going to the sea: it will be the first time for many of them, but how can they raise the necessary funds? These Italian nonnas start small, by selling homemade cakes, but end up becoming media sensations in their quest to make their dream come true.
