COMPLETE WITH THE FILM “LE MIE RAGAZZE DI CARTA”
The three-day event will close on Thursday, September 19, with the film by Luca Lucini, “Le mie ragazze di carta” starring Alvise Marascalchi, Roberto Alfano, Alessandro Bressanello.
The film transports the viewer to the 1970s in the area of Treviso and narrates some very important moments that happen during adolescence, that transitional period when one experiences the first loves and the first challenges, and which in this case also involves moving from the countryside to the city.
The protagonists of the story are 3 young people – Primo, Anna and Tiberio – the children of the Bottacin family, who suffered firsthand the impact of the rapid urban expansion during the 70s. The Bottacins, in fact, decide to leave the countryside and, consequently, the rural lifestyle, to move to the city, but adapting to the urban context is difficult, especially for Tiberius. Somehow the new life of the Bottacins is inevitably intertwined with the socio-economic changes that our country went through at that time.
