Film Screening of ‘La ciociara’ by Vittorio De Sica
The Italian Embassy Cultural Centre invites you to the film screening of ‘La ciociara’ by Vittorio De Sica. The movie is subtitled in English and will be screened on Thursday, 22 August 2019 @ 7:00 p.m. at Italian Embassy Cultural Centre.
La ciociara (English: Two Women), roughly translated as “The Woman from Ciociaria”) is a 1960 Italian film directed by Vittorio De Sica. It tells the story of a woman trying to protect her young daughter from the horrors of war. The film was adapted by De Sica and Cesare Zavattini from the novel of the same name written by Alberto Moravia. The story is fictional, but based on actual events of July 1943 in Rome and rural Lazio, and during what the Italians call the Marocchinate.
Summary: Cesira is a beautiful widow and a successful grocery store owner in Rome. WWII is raging, and she fears for her beloved daughter, 13-year-old Rosetta, amid the daily bombings. They travel to the village where Cesira was born, where Cesira believes they will be safer. There, they are happy even as food dwindles. A young intellectual, Michele, falls in love with Cesira, who is too consumed with the well-being of her daughter and their survival to return his timid advances. As the allies advance, Cesira decides to return to Rome – and encounter the horrors of war at last.
