IL PAPÀ DI GIOVANNA
(Pupi Avati, Italia 2008, 105 min., v.o.s.e.)
Men touch each other with blows. An energetic duo about masculine construction. A deconstruction of the contemporary virile behaviour, acclaimed by some and questioned by many. CLINCH in boxing is the moment in which the two boxers hug and block each other until the referee separates them. This movement is about getting as close as possible to your rival to protect yourself from their attack. CLINCH exposes the most toxic masculinity, established in the competition, the denial and the confrontation to all that is different. Furthermore, the denial of feelings, excluding rage or fury, that must be demonstrated through the exercise of violence.
Bolonia, 1938. Durante la Italia fascista, el profesor Michele Casali vivirá una situación desesperada cuando Giovanna, su única hija todavía adolescente, sea acusada de haber asesinado a su mejor amiga. En el ambiente burgués en el que vive la familia, ello causará un gran revuelo.
