A Special Day
“A special film about two special people.”
DramaRomance
Two neighbours — a persecuted journalist and a resigned housewife — forge a strong bond on the day of Adolf Hitler's historic 1938 visit to Rome.
VIBE
A quiet, melancholic slow-burn that explores profound human connection amidst the suffocating backdrop of fascist Italy. It's a poignant, character-driven study of two souls finding solace and understanding in a world that seeks to define and confine them.
