The Red and the Blue
Directed by Giuseppe Piccioni
Produced by Bianca Film, RAI Cinema
A character-driven school drama that balances cynicism and idealism through the clash between a burnt-out teacher and a passionate former student, grounded in the messy realities of public education.
In a Roman high school, a jaded art professor who lost the spark for the job clashes with an ex pupil of his, an adjunct literature teacher who is trying to rescue an eccentric and rebellious student, while the stern headmistress deals with a student from a difficult background.
