Today, the feminist film "and tomorrow" is officially announced to be introduced to the mainland. With a meticulous female narrative, "and tomorrow" tells the story of a woman at the bottom of Italy who fights against violence, walks out of her family and rushes to freedom. This film not only won six awards such as the 69th Italian Film David Award for Best New Director, but also became the Italian box office champion in 2023, and finally won the ninth place in Italian film history.

female directors write female stories

Written, directed and performed by Italian national treasure actor Paula Cottlesi, the film aims to write stories about women, focus on women's collective plight and present the possibility of breaking them.

Set in post-World War II Italy, the film tells the story of how the patient Delia escapes from unfair daily trivialities and strives for freedom. Delia is confined to the family all the year round, restrained by tedious housework, often unprovoked domestic violence, and an old stubborn father-in-law who is ill in bed. Over the years, she opened her day after day with a slap in the face or a fist from her husband, then got up and returned to the bedroom, opened the small window of her home on the ground floor, prepared meals for the whole family, and took care of her bedridden father-in-law. In addition to housework, Delia will also take odd jobs to subsidize the family. Just like not only giving but not being respected at home, she also encounters discrimination such as unequal wages and remuneration between men and women when she enters social labor.

All this changed with Delia's subtle resistance, the American soldier who accidentally broke into life, her first love in the same town and about to travel north, and a letter telling her that she needed to show up for an appointment on Sunday.

Women's movies focus on women's plight

With the heroine Delia as the main character, "and tomorrow" begins with a focus on daily trivialities. Through Delia's story, it presents domestic violence, "widowed marriage", "marital rape", sexual harassment and the situation of women with different pay for equal work in society. The film points directly at the patriarchal structure, strongly criticizes the long-standing oppression of the power and violence system on women, and further presents the possibility for women to tear off the authority mask of the structure and explore a broader field of freedom.

After its release in Italy, the film received a lot of praise. The Italian Silver Ribbon Award called it "Film of the year". The New York Times praised the film as "leading the discussion on women's rights."Vision" directly uses the word "bold" to express the affirmation of the film.

"and tomorrow" was also well received and expected by the audience after it was shown at the Pingyao Film Festival in 2024. A few days ago, the score of Douban has risen to a high score of 9.1, topping the top spot of Douban 2024. Today's confirmation of the introduction of Guan Xuan is undoubtedly a reassurance for moviegoers. Look forward to seeing more feminist stories written by female directors on the big screen!

It is reported that the film "and tomorrow" is imported by China Film Group Corporation and issued and translated by China Film Co., Ltd. This film will officially debut on the mainland screen in 2025. Please look forward to it.
