Illusion @Regent Street Cinema, in partnership with the Italian Cultural Institute

The Italian Cultural Institute in London and CinemaItaliaUK present Future Classics, a new series of Italian films. 
 Future Classics explores the best of Italian contemporary cinema, painting a vibrant portrait of present day Italy through its faces, its landscapes, and its stories. 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 beautiful little girl, dressed like a Dior supermodel, is found in a ditch on the outskirts of Perugia, Italy. She is not dead, as it might seem at first. Her name is Rosa Lazar and she is sixteen years old. Judge Cristina Camponeschi and psychologist Stefano Mangiaboschi during the investigations thus find themselves catapulted into the joyful and childlike world of Rosa, an illusion behind which hides the frightening child prostitution ring in the centre of Europe, at the very heart of the European Parliament.
