“Cinema Paradiso” was installed as one of the most moving and unforgettable films, which recognized it as Best Foreign Language Film at the 1988 Oscars, thus portraying the post-war crisis in Italy, and in the words of the producer: “the strength of a mother, the solidarity of a friend, sex as taboo, forced relocations, escapes and marked social differences.” The film tells the story of Salvatore Di Vita, whom one night his mother calls to tell her that Alfredo has died. The call, which comes to him from a distance, brings him back to his hometown, when he was called Toto as a child, to everything he left behind.
