Co-curated by the Italian Cultural Institute in London and CinemaItaliaUK, the series offers a unique opportunity to investigate a key phase of the rebirth and evolution of the Italian film industry, from the wave of new directors, to the rise of independent producers and the revival of genre cinema.

Overview
A young boy (Marco Fiore) and an elderly woman (Aurora Quattrocchi) forced to spend a summer together. A clash between modernity and the past, between science and faith, reason and religion. A summer full of fears and discoveries, but also of adventures, milestones, and losses—a summer after which nothing will ever be the same.
At the Locarno Film Festival, Aurora Quattrocchi received the Golden Leopard for Best Performance, while director Margherita Spampinato was awarded the Special Jury Prize.
