THE RELATIONSHIP WITH REALITY - Sergio Rubini notes: «It is a current, raw film that presents a cross-section of our society by narrating its transformation. The institutions have lost credibility and familism shows its worst implications'. Giovanna Mezzogiorno, or rather the integral and inflexible principal: «The film perpetuates stereotypes and prejudices against women who hold court in the male world and beyond. Even among us there is not always solidarity ». Director Stefano Cipani: «I read Scianna's play in 2014 and immediately fell in love with it. The herd attitude of these overprotective parents towards their children was denounced. I thought of developing an important aspect such as that of responsibility, with respect to what happens to us».
