In four decades, the merciless Neapolitan reality has tamed a once fiery girl into a sensitive woman torn between the care for her children and parents, her unresolved feelings for her husband and the demons of her family’s past and the unfulfilling present. Anna is not unhappy, but why, then, when she opens the kitchen window in the mornings the sky is never blue, but a heavy grey? The Coppa Volpi Award for best actress for Valeria Golino at the 2015 Venice Film Festival.

The second feature film from Hana Jušić (Quit Staring at My Plate) is a darkly poetic neo-Western about a mysterious Chilean woman who brings unrest to a traditional Croatian shepherding community at the beginning of the 20th century. Blending elements of Wuthering Heights, Croatian folklore, and Jane Campion’s The Piano, the film earned its two leading actresses an award at Locarno.
