synopsis

From the famed movie , by iconic Italian director Federico Fellini, comes the hauntingly beautiful musical Nine—soon to be a major motion picture. As a famous film director searches for a plot for his next movie, he is surrounded by the women in his life—past and present—who force him to re-examine his life, loves, and losses. As a result, the director becomes inspired to create his next film, a musical version of Casanova.
