After the War
Directed by Annarita Zambrano
Produced by Sensito Films, Bord Cadre Films
A tense political thriller that uses a murder investigation to excavate the unhealed trauma of Italy's violent radical past and its corrosive effect on family bonds.
Bologna, 2002. Amidst protests against the labor reform, the assassination of a lawyer opens old wounds between Italy and France. Former far-left terrorist Marco, convicted of murder during the Years of Lead and living in Paris since then thanks to the Mitterrand Doctrine, is suspected of being its instigator. When the Italian government asks for extradition, Marco goes into hiding with his daughter Viola, precipitating also the life of his family back in Italy.
