L’albero: first screening at Cinema Modernissimo

Bianca is in her early 20s, should be attending college, has left her parents’home and moved in with Angelica, who has her same age and is a beloved friend and lover. She writes in a little notebook, goes in search of cocaine and spends her time with her other friends wondering why everyone is always so sad. Sara Petraglia’s debut is a poetic and biting portrait of the 20-year-olds of today, of their desire to live and love and their unhappiness. “A film in which that talks about addictions as a critical juncture of life, which both destroys and gives a different understanding of oneself, of friendship, of love, and vital lymphs even when they end” (Sara Petraglia).
