Nancy Cartwight - the voice of Bart Simpson, here enacted by Ksenia Solo - did fall for
La Strada and approached the director to gain rights to turn it into a one-woman show...? Then travelled to Italy to try and meet him. 70% of what happened here is true, but I am reminded of the Great Goldman - just because a story is true doesn't necessarily make it a good film. And I'm not really sure about this one. The whole Venice section is somewhat questionable, and the imaginary meeting with Fellini pointless.
While this journey through Italy is going on, over-protective mom Maria Bello is dying, with support from sister Mary Lynn Rajskub.
Yes, some of the references are fun, and the stuff about the pebble is good, and there's some nice filming in Italy, but the whole story is mad as Fellini had already died when she appears to make contact with his office. So I don't really know what's going on. Enrico Oetiker is the Veronese boyfriend.
