L'anno dell'uovo
by Claudio Casale

(2023, Italy, 82')

Gemma and Adriano are a young couple expecting their first child, and they have decided to bring their child into the world far away from an increasingly competitive and profit-driven society. They turned to the community of the Egg: a spiritual group that lives in contemplation of fertility and shares moments of meals, meditation, and prayer as one big family. Gemma finds it easier to integrate than Adriano, but an unforeseen event transforms that enchanted place into a space of new solitude. Both will find themselves immersed in an unfamiliar grief, and in that moment, they will receive a gift that can change their way of looking at everything.
