Screening of Last Year’s Most Watched Film in Italy

Paola Cortellesi’s work “There is Still Tomorrow” was the most-watched film of the year in Italy last year, ahead of Barbie and Oppenheimer.

The heroine of the story is Delia, a mother of three living in Rome in the second half of the 1940s. The city is caught between the hope of liberation and the financial difficulties caused by the war that has just ended. Day after day, Delia does the impossible, working at home and at work, tidying the family nest, looking after the children and elderly family members, putting up with the tantrums of her war-torn husband.

A tireless woman, she tries her best to prevent her daughter from marrying, but her efforts seem futile. One day, however, she receives a letter that prompts her to take a surprisingly bold step.

Is it possible to make a film about women’s equality and even domestic violence that is entertaining, humorous and relatable at the same time? Italian superstar Paola Cortellesi has succeeded so well that Our Tomorrow will Be Tomorrow not only won the Audience Award and the Special Jury Prize at the Rome International Film Festival, but was also the most-watched film of last year in her country.

After the screening, Kata Anna Váró, film aesthete and university lecturer, will give a talk and lead a discussion with the audience about the film.
