Italy/2021-directed by Guiseppe Piccioni | 125 min.
Picture this: it's 1938, Ascoli Piceno. It’s an ordinary day in a provincial town like so many others in Italy. The tables are set and Luciano has just opened his restaurant. Behind the large windows overlooking the old town square, the small town life in those years happen. These are the years of consent, public works and new cities. Luciano is a fascist, like the majority of Italians at that time, but in his own way. What he cares about are his restaurant and the daily tasks to which he diligently dedicates himself. Until one day outside the restaurant window, a young woman appears and timidly asks him if he is looking for staff. But that young woman has a secret.
The Italian Film Festival USA is the largest festival dedicated exclusively to Italian film in the USA, present in 14 cities from coast to coast. The 2022 edition brings you the best line-up of recent Italian cinema with films from award-winning directors, as well as debut films from exciting new talent. This is your chance to see the latest and best in Italian film.
Presented in partnership with the Consulate of Italy in Detroit.
