Event details
Film screening
This film follows an Italian family as they leave their hometown and move to Germany in the sixties in search of a better life, and open the first pizza restaurant in their area.
The film focuses on the sons, Giancarlo and his younger brother, aspiring filmmaker Gigi, and the way their relationship with their parents and each other changes as they grow up and fall for the same woman.
The opening talk will contextualise the film, both from a historical perspective and where the film fits with the director’s other works, and there will be the opportunity to ask questions afterwards.
Please note, whilst the film will have English subtitles, the introduction and Q and A will take place in German.
