Doctor and the Healer
Comedy
Francesco, a young doctor, is appointed doctor to the imaginary village of Pianetta in the province of Avellino, but is immediately in competition with Don Antonio, a so-called "healer".
VIBE
This film feels like a warm, sun-drenched Italian afternoon. It's a gentle, character-driven comedy that playfully explores the clash between old traditions and new ideas, all with a charmingly witty touch.
