Matter of Time

During a press conference, international star Nina (Liza Minnelli) remembers simpler times, flashing back to her days as a maid in a run-down Italian hotel. As a young woman, Nina befriends Contessa Sanziani (Ingrid Bergman), an elderly woman who entertains Nina with memories of her vibrant, wealthy life with Count Sanziani (Charles Boyer). Inspired by her tales of success, young Nina fantasizes about her own adventures and seeks to find the same excitement in her life.
