rossosperanza

Rome, 1980s, Zena, 16, grows up in a wealthy upper-class family. After poisoning Monsignor Lombardi, she is sent to Villa Bianca, a clinic dedicated to building “normal” children. There, she meets Alfonso, Adriano and Marzia, whose rebellious energies turn out to be a time bomb…

Jubilant and cathartic, this is a daring story that embraces diverse cinematographic genres. A political, poetic and surrealist tragicomedy: with a freedom of tone, rare in European cinema, capable of crushing decadence and creeping fascism.
