THERE'S STILL TOMORROW.
Italy, subtitles, 2023, Dramatic comedy

Delia lives in Rome in the late 1940s in a working-class community which is slowly but surely rebuilding itself after the war. She shares a small flat with her domineering husband, their three children and her sick father-in-law.

Delia resolutely deals with the daily challenges of family life and has a best friend with whom she shares moments of levity. Delia’s dream though is for her daughter, Marcella to one day have a better life than she does. Delia is resigned to her fate - the good with the bad - until one day a mysterious letter arrives.

"An inspiring story that delights in small victories and the dream of female empowerment." - Screen International
