Quell’estate con Irène
10 May 2024 | 21:00
Sala Hera — Cinema Astra
National premiere
in the presence of the director and the producer Giovanni Pompili
Clara and Irène are 17 years old and still know very little about life. Meeting at a clinic for former cancer patients, the two girls emerge from years of illness and loneliness. A vital impulse drives them toward each other, mirroring their common desire to have new experiences and live a normal summer. The island of Favignana frames the protagonists in painterly shots and provides a backdrop for new discoveries, suave immersions and an increasingly meaningful friendship. After the convincing debut with Sole, Carlo Sironi returns to talk about adolescence, in a suspended and elusive time and from a female perspective.
