“Cuori puri” (“Pure Hearts”) is a 2017 film directed by Roberto De Paolis, marking his directorial debut, and was selected for the Directors’ Fortnight at the 2017 Cannes Film Festival. Agnese is an eighteen-year-old girl, raised by a very Catholic mother, who attends church regularly and has chosen to remain a virgin until marriage. Stefano is a twenty-five-year-old man with a turbulent past, working as a security guard in a shopping mall parking lot near a large nomadic camp. Despite being diametrically opposed, Agnese and Stefano will fall in love, and their growing feelings will confront them with difficult choices.
