About Quell'estate
The entire Rienzi family eagerly awaits their summer return to the country house, where each member hopes to experience a truly special stay. Vittorio, the father—recently struck by a heart attack—and his wife Marinella dream of revitalizing their troubled marriage; their daughter Eleonora, a single mother, hopes to rekindle a romance with the local heartthrob, Antonio; and their fifteen-year-old son Matteo—who has failed three school subjects—aims to win over the beautiful young Fiorenza, whom he has thought about all winter long. As their dreams and hopes collide with reality, the Rienzi family will experience a summer that proves pivotal and transformative for their lives.
Directed by Guendalina Zampagni, Quell'estate leans on a strong ensemble — Alessandro Haber, Pamela Villoresi, Diane Fleri — 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 drama titles of 2012.

6.7Bad Tales
2020 6.7
In a small suburb on the outskirts of Rome, the cheerful heat of summer camouflages a stifling atmosphere of alienation. From a distance, the families seem normal, but it’s an illusion: in the houses, courtyards and gardens, silence shrouds the subtle sadism of the fathers, the passivity of the mothers and the guilty indifference of adults. But it’s the desperation and repressed rage of the children that will explode and cut through this grotesque façade, with devastating consequences for the entire community.

Carlo and Elisa are a successful couple. He’s a university professor and writer facing a creative block; she’s a brilliant, sharp-witted journalist, known for her internationally published editorials. They live in Rome, moving between accomplishments and routine, affection and something that might be fading. In search of new energy, they travel to Morocco with their lifelong friends, Anna and Paolo, and their thirteen-year-old daughter Vittoria—bright, curious, a little eccentric. Tensions soon rise.
