Saturday April 13: Si puo fare (We Can Do It)
This hilarious film is based on a true story. Because of his reputation as a troublemaker, Nello is dismissed and is sent to run a cooperative of over-medicated but potentially creative mentally ill patients released after the closure of psychiatric hospitals. Against all odds, the stubborn and passionate Nello manages to bring out the best in his new employees and to restore their dignity as they become specialists in "mosaic parquet", an innovative and profitable business that helps them reintegrate into society. A soulful, funny and moving modern fairy tale.

Thursday April 18: Benvenuti al sud (Welcome to the South)
Alberto is the manager of a Post Office in a small town in the northwest of Italy. Under pressure from his wife Silvia, he will do anything to get a transfer to Milan. His stunts backfire and as a punishment he is transferred to a small town near Naples, which, for a person from the north, is a real nightmare. Alberto's story gives us laughs as he becomes part of the life of the south, even assisting in making love matches.
