Lupa is a short film that investigates the sculpture portraying the Capitoline Wolf. A mythical symbol associated with the foundation of Rome, this work has been reproduced in many countries. In Romania alone, there are 22 reproductions of it. The wolf herself narrates the film. Refusing to be a passive symbol, she builds a historical portrait of her different reproductions around the world.
