CinemaItaliaUK Special Screening of The Story of Frank and Nina + Q&A with Paola Randi

It’s up to Gollum to tell us La storia del Frank e della Nina —only, he doesn’t speak, and has to write it on the wall. He’s the guardian of those words, the ones that can’t come out of his mouth, the ones he writes on buildings as if the city was a big amplifier. Frank has stopped existing a couple years back, but to make a living he sells homework outside of school. He’s waiting till he turns 18 to take the train and clear out. Frank’s version of reality is so compelling that we all believe him. Till he meets Nina. Practical and ambitious, she made the mistake of listening to the grownups and now she’s in trouble. Now life as she wants it is only in the pictures she takes. She is a mother and a wife. And she’s 16. She now knows that to be free she needs to study. She hires Frank to help with her middle school licence. But studying in itself is dangerous stuff in her situation. And the more they study, the more they get to know each other, they almost become a family, at least until reality catches up with them. Still, as Frank says, “reality is a point of view”—so then they might be able to write their own version of the story, after all.ComedyPT1H45MTBC U2025-02-23
