Nome di donna (2018) Synopsis

A woman courageously tries to break the silence in a culture of complicity surrounding sexual harassment in this all-too-timely film from Open Roads veteran Marco Tullio Giordana. Nina is a single mother who takes a job at a home for the elderly in Lombardy, where the inappropriate verbal treatment of her new manager turns into outright assault. Nina's quest to seek justice brings her face to face with the cultural and institutional mechanisms that allowed for the harassment in the first place. Ultimately, Nina is one of the most multidimensional and inspiring protagonists in recent Italian cinema.—Canon y mus
