A Special Day
A special film about two special people.
A tender, melancholic portrait of two isolated souls finding unexpected intimacy and understanding amid the oppressive machinery of fascism.
Two neighbours — a persecuted journalist and a resigned housewife — forge a strong bond on the day of Adolf Hitler's historic 1938 visit to Rome.
