Callas e Onassis

Aristotele Onassis and Maria Callas meet in 1957, when they are both at the peak of their runway rise to success. Callas has sacrificed to this success her most deepest needs as a woman, but now the “divina” celebrated by the whole world, is beginning to feel the need to reduce her professional commitments. For a long time now she has wanted a child. Maria’s husband, manager and mentor, Battista Meneghini, seems to be insensitive to his wife’s growing disquiet, totally engrossed in the financial management of her career. Like Maria, ship-owner Aristotele Onassis is a Greek self-made man, accustomed to fighting to win, and desiring fame and success, and he initially sees in Maria Callas a precious object to add to his collection.
