Come le tartarughe is a 2022 film starring Monica Dugo (who also directed the film), Edoardo Boscheetti, Sandra Collodel, Francesco Gheghi and Romana Maggiora Vergano and screened at both the Venice and Rio de Janeiro film festivals in 2022.

Set in Rome, we meet Daniele, Lisa and their two children: Sveva, a teenage girl, and Paolo, a seven-year old boy. A perfect family and a life that seems perfect, except, it is not.

One day Daniele empties his side of the wardrobe and leaves. The shock and realisation that the separation will be for good, are a devastating trauma for Lisa. And with her characteristic calm, she reacts by climbing into the wardrobe that she finds empty.

The wardrobe becomes a refuge, a hiding place, somewhere to suspend time, to conceal her pain and try to heal it. Sveva, a mature and energetic adolescent, sees only the absurdity of the thing.

Life inside the wardrobe is tragic but at the same time comical, Daniele is not going to come home, Lisa will emerge from the wardrobe: it won’t be the end of the pain, but the first step toward an awareness of having to face up to it.

This film is in Italian with English subtitles

Tickets are $10 each and include a beverage of your choice (eg. glass of wine, beer, soft drink, coffee).
