Description
Italian icon Paolo Sorrentino is back at LIFF! In 2013, you could enjoy La Grande Belezza with us — now it’s time for La Grazia. The tough President De Santis, nicknamed ‘reinforced concrete’, has lost his wife. He spends the end of his term in office in the colossal presidential palace, with hip-hop music as his most trusted companion, and a few big decisions still ahead of him. Among them is the policy surrounding a law that will allow euthanasia against the Pope’s wishes.
