From the award winning director of 'The Son's Room' and 'Dear Diary', comes this irresistible comedy which screened to great acclaim in Cannes last year.

A film only celebrated director Nanni Morretti could make, combining politics, art, love and family in a rousing satire of Italy’s Berlusconi era.

Moretti manages to reflect the breakdown of the state in the disintegration of the family. It's a smart approach that allows his satire to enter the heart as well as the brain

A gentle and bittersweet comedy
