Felicità Cannibale

When Antonella discovers the contents of her father’s will, she is left speechless: if she wants the substantial inheritance he left her, she will have to eat a spoonful of his ashes. But the notary, an inflexible woman dedicated to her role, does not seem as surprised, she who has seen even worse in her career. In a very long day in which the coordinates of reality seem to have shifted, Antonella will have to make a difficult decision: accept her father’s request or reject it, losing her only chance to start over? After all, happiness is nothing but a system of compromises.

Directed by Daniel Baldotto, Felicità Cannibale leans on a strong ensemble — Anna Bellato, Emanuela Grimalda — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2024.
