Italian Film: There's Still Tomorrow (C'è ancora domani)

Join us for the Winter 2025 Italian Film Series, “Chain Reaction/Reazione a catena,” sponsored by Dante Alighieri Society of Santa Cruz.

This season’s films follow protagonists living during pivotal eras of Italian history whose lives are unexpectedly changed by the far-reaching consequences of a decision. Set in the 19th century and in post-war Rome, these dramatic art films invite us to consider how historical circumstances shape our lives and how our choices create effects that ripple through history. All of these films are in Italian with English subtitles. Logan Walker, film lecturer from UCSC & Director of Programming, SV Film Festival, will introduce and have a Q&A after the film.

The final film in the series is: There's Still Tomorrow (C'è ancora domani). Directed by Paola Cortellesi. 2023. 118 mins.

In this moving comedic drama set in postwar Rome, a working-class woman dreams of a better future for herself and her daughter while facing abuse at the hands of her domineering husband. When a mysterious letter arrives, she discovers the courage to change the circumstances of her life. The directorial debut of actress, writer, and singer Paola Cortellesi, There’s Still Tomorrow was a phenomenon at the Italian box office, outperforming both Barbie and Oppenheimer and winning six Italian Academy Awards.
