Storyline:

A few families living out on a limb in the suburbs of Rome. Tensions here can explode at any time; ultimately it’s the children who bring about the collapse.

User review:

My personal favorite of the 2020 Berlin International Film Festival and winner of the Berlinale Bear for best script. The film introduces itself as: A true story inspired by a false story. The false story is not very inspired. Sounds mysterious? It better be, for this is a film enjoyed more the less you know. Okay, I’ll give you this much: a dark look at life in the suburbs outside Rome, where people’s aspiration clash with reality. The story of a summer broken down into a sequence of immersive scenes, each containing its own drama and driven by an atmosphere of suspense. All is mostly viewed through the eyes of the kids. Highly recommended! On a side note: this is the second film of the D’Innocenzo Brothers that I’ve seen, and it is astonishing to observe how much they’ve matured as filmmakers and storytellers. Their first film – La Terra de’l abbastanza – had all the pieces but lacked a forceful plot to tie them together. Favolacce delivered this force, in a unique way.
