My Place Is Here

by Daniela PortoCristiano Bortone

Set at the time of the first feminist movement in Southern Italy, this compelling tale of women empowerment and pursuit of happiness stars Ludovica Martino (SKAM Italia) and Cinema Paradiso's Marco Leonardi.

Marta, a single mother promised to an older farmer in the aftermath of WWII, forges an unlikely friendship with Lorenzo, the village's openly gay "wedding planner." In the conservative backdrop of rural Southern Italy, Lorenzo introduces her to a hidden community of gays, sparking Marta's journey to challenge societal prejudices. In the first year of women's suffrage in Italy, Marta navigates her evolving role as a woman, breaking barriers and finding her place in a changing world.
