Il campione (The Champion) (2019)

Posted on January 13, 2020February 11, 2020 by Steven

Simple Women (2019)

Il traditore (The Traitor) (2019)

Posted on January 13, 2020February 11, 2020 by Steven

Croce e delizia (2019)

Posted on January 5, 2020February 28, 2020 by Steven

Croce e delizia is a warmly charming, and often moving, look at how family dynamics may change but love and compassion will always be at the heart.
