From Monfalcone to Milan, Lotus is an intimate look at
what going into making of a record: the idea, the preparation, the
waiting, the enthusiasm, the talent, the artisanship. From the practice
room, trying out new sounds, to the mixer and the recording studio to
put down on tape the fruit of her vocation, Elisa and her irreplaceable
companions try to put into their music the overwhelming force of Nature
in all its forms.
