Comedy

A 'period' piece set in the hot summer of 2011, in the midst of the Berlusconi era. The life of a quiet corner market is shaken when the mayor decides to close it down. The only political organization people can turn to is the local section of the Democratic Party, which is separated from the market by a concrete wall, built to allow the construction of the subway.

VIBE

A warm, sun-drenched Italian comedy about the absurdities of local politics and the resilience of community. It feels like a gentle, humorous observation of everyday life, filled with quirky characters and a charmingly low-stakes conflict.
