CENTERPIECE FILM: L'immensita

CENTERPIECE FILM & PARTY
It’s the 1970s and Rome is a city in transition. Clara and her husband move into a new apartment, with three children. Stuck in a languid marriage to an unfaithful and abusive husband, Clara focuses her attention on the kids, connecting with them by channeling her own inner child. She relates to 13-year-old Adriana the most. Adriana has begun to identify as a boy, Andrew, and proclaims to his mother that he comes from another galaxy, something that Clara definitely relates to. While Penélope Cruz absolutely shines in the role of Clara, it is newcomer Luana Giuliani who commands the screen in this exuberant relationship story between mother and child, complete with a pop soundtrack and musical numbers.
