Winning several accolades at the 2022 Venice Film Festival, including the Pasinetti Award, Paolo Virzì’s Dry is a a semi-apocalyptic drama following a disparate group of people in Rome. The drought has been parching the city for three years now, and the lack of water has changed everybody’s life. While strict rules add to people’s misery, odd characters roam the streets of the capital. Outcasts, achievers, victims, and wrongdoers are all part of the same tragic picture, and they are all after the same thing: redemption.
The screening will be followed by a Q&A with actor Tommaso Ragno
