I've not seen a better foreign film than this! A touching story about a brother's concern for his naughty adorable half sister. When Domitilla gets hurt by their mom's syringe, Siddharta takes it into his own hands to bring her for a checkup. in doing so, he lies in registration etc, and goes thru all means to ensure noone finds out, especially their mother and 2 fathers(or Domitilla's dad would demand custody for her due to mother's negligence) It truly is a wonderful movie on sibling love, and i highly recommend "Shooting the Moon" :)

Italian cinema has deeply influenced world cinema through its socially conscious realism and modernist experimentation, but it also flourished in popular genres like peplum (sword & sandal), giallo thrillers, and broad comedies. Its narratives often weave together politics, contemporary social change, class consciousness, and family dynamics, balancing artistic ambition with entertainment that resonated widely.
