A complementary short silent film for Robin Veldman's violin's live performance (Concert Visuals).
It's a visual journey through different phases of the Italian Olympic cyclist’s life: Alfonsina Strada, the only woman to have ridden one of cycling's three major stage races. She started in the Giro d'Italia in 1924 when the organisers mistook her for a man. Newspapers called her The Devil in a dress.
