I've always loved my name a lot. I love its sound, I like its meanings, I love it because it is sweet but short and resolute. I'm very happy that my parents have chosen it. In 1972 in Italy wasn't a widespread name at all. Nowadays it's different. When my parent decided to give me this name, they had been together for a few time. They read an article on a newspaper which was matched with a photo: a Palestinian beautiful girl holding a machine gun and the legend said simply – Leila!-. In that moment they told each other that if they have ever had a doughter they would call her Leila. It was the 17th september of 1970, I was born the 8th 1972.
Many years have passed, now it's a particular moment of my life, I got married, I have two sons, I'm still holding on in making documentary film...and...trying to understand which is my shape now and towards where shall I look to keep on walking, I've asked my self: “but who are the other Leila in the world?” That is how the idea was born: to make a research-documentary about the name Leila and about women, all around the world, who have it as a name.
I made some researches in internet and I found a list of “famous” Leila, and I try to get in contact with them. But what I'm interested the most and what extremely fascinates me are all little everyday life stories. I would like to discover how many faces such a beautiful name can have, and discover also if there can be other links among the several women
