In her directorial debut, Paola Cortellesi puts together a tender drama in C'è ancora domani. The film addresses the adversity faced by many Italian families in the wake of WWII. Set against this precarious backdro of postwar Rome, an era fraught with uncertainty, the film follows the life of Delia Santucci (Paola Cortellesi), a mother of three children and wife of an abusive husband. Delia tirelessly works to navigage the economic difficulty and her husband's temper, holding on to her own voice and taking a stand when and where it matters most. C'è ancora domani reminds us that even in the darkest moments, there's still tomorrow. With stellar performances and captivating narrative Cortellesi puts forward a universally acclaimed film that reframes neorealism, a traditionally male-dominated school of Italian cinema, from a woman's perspective.
