The history of the legalization of divorce in Italy

Synopsis

This film invites us to travel to Italy in the 1970s through the memories of four families connected to the history of the legalization of divorce.

Their stories intersect to portray a schizophrenic era, where divorce is forbidden, honor crimes are tolerated, and love can drive you underground until a referendum finally recognizes divorce as a right.

Alongside these families, we discover an Italian society that is both tender, touching, and bubbling in search of modernity and freedom.
