Girasoli

1963. The young nurse Anna begins working in the juvenile ward of a mental hospital. There she meets Lucia, a fifteen-year-old schizophrenic. Against the backdrop of a struggle between Dr. Marie and the rigid Dr. Oreste to reform patient treatment, a relationship between Anna and Lucia develops, forcing them to make decisive choices for their respective lives.

Reginetta

Ciociaria, early ‘50s. A young farmhand is recruited to participate in Miss Italia selections, but her body measurements are not quite right for the contest. To undergo a terrible process of physical transformation seems to be the only way to be elected Reginetta.

Between Us

Alessio and Edoardo have always been friends, united by a bond that seems indissoluble. During a late summer afternoon, under a gray sky swollen with rain, the two take refuge inside an abandoned shed. Guiding them is the desire to be together, to honor a promise, to share a challenge. To cling to the past, to deny the future. As far as possible.
