Era d'estate: Once in Summer
Every second Thursday of the month, the San Diego Italian Film Festival (SDIFF) screens the best of Italian cinema at the La Paloma Theater in Encinitas. On September 13th, SDIFF will screen the film "Era d'estate" - "Once in Summer" (2016). Film synopsis: In the Summer 1985, anti-Mafia judges Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino, along with their families, are transferred to a safe house on Asinara, a small island north of Sardinia. The two judges are leading the work for the famous Maxi-Trial that will prosecute more than 400 Mafia members. Sparkling seas and a gorgeous landscape fit for a relaxing holiday are in sharp contrast with the constant threats to their lives from the Mafia and sabotage of their mission from within the Italian government. Based on actual events, this is the story of a friendship grounded in a mutual commitment to truth and justice — whatever the cost. A Q/A will be held after the movie. Tickets: $12 general admission, $8 members, students and active military.
