Cinema at the Institute: Incontri in Biblioteca: 1st Italian Cuisine Week in the World
In Italian with subtitles in English
Diamante, a small town in Calabria, southern Italy. Hardly an exciting place. Gabriele, Marco and Nicola are three youngsters, who would like to shoot a movie. They interview an old lady, who recalls the love of her life, a distant cousin of hers who emigrated
to America as a youth, whose return she is still waiting for. Indeed, a suitable plot for a movie. Neri is a former film director who shot one successful movie and then retired to Diamante. They ask for his help, in vain though. So they decide to travel to Rome, and Elena, Marco’s sister, goes with them. Here, Francesco, a friend of Neri’s, unwillingly accommodates them. They end up getting involved in the TV showbiz rather than cinema, and realize it’s not that bad after all. However, they meet Amélie, a French, girl, who seems to
be interested in their intent, and tells them she will mention it to Gerard, her fiancé, who actually turns out to be Gerard Depardieu, the renowned French actor… Could this be the turning point for them?
