Signorina Effe (Miss Effe)

Of Love and Friendship

The Istituto Italiano di Cultura is renewing in 2019 its fruitful collaboration with the Casula Powerhouse Arts Centre, proposing a new cycle of screenings called Of Love and Friendship, which will include movies produced in the last years which will touch upon themes that are certainly very familiar to the majority of viewers.

Signorina Effe (Miss Effe), directed by Wilma Labate, 2007, 95’

Torino, 1980. During some labour strikes against the reorganization of FIAT, Emma and Sergio meet and fall in love. The two protagonists represent the parties the company would like to set against: Emma is an undergraduate Math student, works in the FIAT administrative department and is in a relationship with an engineer. Sergio is a worker, a hothead, eager to fight. She will compromise everything for him: Sergio lets her go towards a possible brighter future but it will turn out to be as disappointing as the reality they live in.

Free entry. Booking essential.
