Caterina in the Big City
Sometimes you just want to fit in... or not.
Directed by Paolo Virzì
Produced by Cattleya, RAI Cinema
A warm, gently comedic coming-of-age dramedy about a girl navigating the social hierarchies and absurdities of middle school in Rome, grounded in observational humor about class and belonging.
When her social-climbing father is relocated from a one-horse town to his native Rome, 12-year-old Caterina enrolls in his old school, finding herself adrift in an environment where eighth-graders form friendships based on social class and their parents' political affiliations.
