The Gold Rimmed Glasses
Drama
A Jewish couple and a homosexual doctor fall to prejudice and scandal in 1938 Italy.
VIBE
A deeply moving and somber drama about love and loss against a backdrop of historical oppression. It feels like a quiet, melancholic reflection on the human cost of prejudice, beautifully rendered with a European sensibility.
