Seems like to be interesting
Divided into six episodes, tells the story of the family Mai, focusing on the relationship between Sarah, a young actress in search of success, her daughter Elena, first as a child and then a teenager, her brother George and two aunts. Welcomed with enthusiasm at the latest Venice, Marco Bellocchio's latest film was shot over ten years in complete creative freedom. Strongly autobiographical, Sisters Mai is the fascinating and ironic portrait of a family, its simple joys and its hidden dramas, supported by a cast of rare sensitivity.
Sorry, I haven't found anything, I just added info that might make it easier for people to find, especially since it's a "Festival" or "arthouse" film that most likely will never get a wide release.

The film concentrates on the girl as she grows from 8 years old to 13 years old, so I'd say it's probably FLM material.The film was shot over a period of 10 years by students Bellocchio tought “film making” to in Bobbio a small town in the province of Piacenz. Sorelle Mai, Sisters Mai has been shot in 6 fragments, 1999, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 and last but not least 2008 which will explain the Bellocchino family’s heavy presents, not many actors would sign a 10 year contract.
Synopsis : Sara May (Donatella Finocchiaro) is a budding actress with few maternal instincts for her daughter Elena (Elena Bellocchino), she has left her in the family home in Bobbio, while she herself is pursuing a career in acting in Milan. Elena is being raised by her two aunts Letizia (Letzia Bellocchino) and Mariuccia (Maria Luisa Bellocchino) together with their grandson Giorgio (Pier Giorgio Bellocchio) who also plays a major part in her upbringing (ever so slightly uneasy about the sexual tension between the two). We follow Elena as she matures over the decade, which is the most interesting part of this film, Elenas acting is excellent throughout, cannot wait to see her in other films ; other characters appear and disappear without any explanation. The final scene was beautiful, we see Gianni Schicchi, dressed in a tuxedo emerging himself into a lake, while being filmed.
