This exclusive evening features an aperitivo and intimate conversation with host Matteo Forni following a screening of "La Grazia," directed by Paolo Sorrentino. The film centers on Mariano De Santis (played by Toni Servillo), the President of the Italian Republic, who faces a profound moral crisis as his presidency nears its end. A widower and devout Catholic living with his lawyer daughter Dorotea, De Santis must decide on two sensitive pardon requests that force him to confront fundamental questions about justice, responsibility, and the intersection of his public duty and private conscience.
The evening brings together cinema and conversation in an intimate setting where guests can engage directly with the filmmaking team. This unique experience explores the tension between personal ethics and institutional power through both the film's compelling narrative and post-screening dialogue, offering attendees deeper insight into the creative choices and moral questions that define this contemporary Italian drama.
