Le Pupille
Directed by Alice Rohrwacher
Produced by Tempesta, Esperanto Filmoj
A joyous, irreverent short film that finds warmth and humor in an absurd premise set against the backdrop of wartime Christmas at a Catholic orphanage.
During WWII, in the days leading up to Christmas, a woman arrives at an Italian Catholic boarding school for orphaned girls with a large cake and a plea for them to pray for her boyfriend, who is having an affair.
