For the past 12 years, the San Diego Italian Film Festival has taken you to virtual journeys along with our protagonists, experiencing the passion, love, comedy, despair, and hope of life. But the SDIFF is about more than just movies. It is about identity, history and a shared appreciation of Italian culture and great cinema– in a word, it is about community. As part of the September monthly series of the San Diego italian Film Festival is the film Figli (Kidz) directed by Giuseppe Bonito. Synopsis: This sharp comedy revolves around a very simple subject: having children in Italy today. Or rather, having a second child, to be more specific. Sara (Paola Cortellesi) and Nicola (Valerio Mastandrea) are a happy couple. She’s a restaurant health inspector, he runs a fishmonger’s; they pay their bills and they have a quiet six-year-old daughter whom they bring along to dinners with friends. The balance in their lives is disrupted, however, by the arrival of their second child. In this case, “1 plus 1 doesn’t make 2, it makes 11.” Their love, of course, multiplies, but so does their fatigue. Sleepless nights, crying around the clock, selfish grandparents and unlikely babysitters all combine to transform the couple’s life into a living hell, while commitments relating to their firstborn become increasingly pressing. Tragicomic scenarios ensue. In Italian with English subtitles. Available only in the US.Showing Date | Thursday, September 30 at 7 p.m. Location | La Paloma TheatreGet tickets here!
