I love very much this film. For cinematography, music, acting, atmosphere, for portrait of long term friendship, for gentle storytelling, for air of nostalgia, for the colors, chess as key to return to life, dialogue and the grace who make the film to feel more than admire. A little gem. Not extraordinary but pure intense. Like a precious rare, old cup of tea, in autumn.

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.

The drama genre is a broad category that features stories portraying human experiences, emotions, conflicts, and relationships in a realistic and emotionally impactful way. Dramas delve into the complexities of human life, often exploring themes of love, loss, morality, societal issues, personal growth, with the aim to evoke an emotional response from the audience by presenting relatable and thought-provoking stories.
