The Way We Laughed
Drama
Studying to become a teacher in 1950s Northern Italy, Sicilian immigrant Pietro is joined by his big brother Giovanni. Pietro shows considerable promise in his field, prompting illiterate Giovanni to take on even the toughest jobs in order to support his sibling's academic pursuits.
VIBE
A poignant, character-driven drama that feels like a warm, yet melancholic, embrace. It's a slow-burn exploration of familial bonds, sacrifice, and the quiet dignity of ordinary lives lived with profound love.
