Claudia Cassidy Theater

It’s the 1970’s in Naples, and nine-year-old protagonist Peppino experiences the hippie-tinged times through the prism of his dysfunctional family. With his parents’ marriage in turmoil, Peppino’s world is shaped by his young, activist and “enlightened” aunt and uncle and a cousin who believes he is a superhero. This funny, touching film views turbulent times, family crisis, and first love through a child’s eyes, filled with uncertainty, delight and wonder. 98 minutes. Italian with subtitles. *post-screening discussion (May 29th only)
