Italian term

grandezza dei limiti oggettivi

Italian to English Art/Literary Cinema, Film, TV, Drama
The director speaks about an aristocratic woman in Italy in the 1600s and the conflict between her desires and social/gender constraints. Can anyone think of a neat way of putting this?

Immagino il conflitto trai i suoi desideri e la grandezza dei limiti oggettivi.

A dire il vero, la frase è formulata in un italiano pesante, non molto bello. Hai colto perfettamente il senso, quindi penso che ti sia concesso di riscriverla in inglese, seguendo solo il senso e non le parole alla lettera. Ciao!
