My Place is Here
Directed by Cristiano Bortone, Daniela Porto
Produced by Orisa Produzioni, Ghosts City Films
A warm, character-driven drama about a woman's self-discovery and solidarity with a marginalized community in post-war rural Italy, grounded in historical change and human connection.
Marta, a single mother promised to an older farmer in the aftermath of WWII, forges an unlikely friendship with Lorenzo, the village's openly gay "wedding planner." In the conservative backdrop of rural Southern Italy, Lorenzo introduces her to a hidden community of gays, sparking Marta's journey to challenge societal prejudices. In the first year of women's suffrage in Italy, Marta navigates her evolving role as a woman, breaking barriers and finding her place in a changing world.
