WHERE LIFE BEGINS (ALLA VITA / TU CHOISRAS LA VIE)

Stéphane Freiss, Italy, France, 2022, 99 min

An ultra-orthodox Jewish family from Aix-les-Bains comes to a farm in Calabria for a brief stay every year to carry out a sacred mission: harvesting citrons. Here Elio, the farm owner, meets Esther, the rabbi’s daughter, who is tired of the constraints imposed by her religion. Through this relationship, Esther will understand the importance of freedom and find her path, and, in the same way, Elio will find the peace he had lost for a long time. A beautiful, lyrical movie that will take us from the autumn chill and gloom to the sun-kissed landscapes of the Italian countryside.
