Directed by Marco Danieli
Italy-France, 104 mins, 2016, Italian (with English subtitles)
Marco Danieli creates a sympathetic and touching coming-of-age story about a character not often seen on screen. Giulia is an academically gifted young woman who belongs to the Jehovah’s Witness faith. Her aspirations and relationships are rigidly determined by her family and their strict religious beliefs. When she embarks on a relationship with a man from outside the faith, she faces her family’s and her community’s judgement, and must determine the path she wants her life to take.
Part of Audi Dublin International Film Festival.
This award-winning first feature is an acute depiction of the life of a young woman caught between her faith and her future.
