Winner of Best Supporting Actress (Margherita Buy) at the David Di Donatello 2004 Awards.
When her parents move from a seaside town in Tuscany to an apartment in Rome, fifteen-year-old Caterina is ready for something new. Her father (Sergio Castellito), a teacher in a tech school, has undisguised social ambitions and is delighted to see a list of famous names attending his daughter's new high school. As the naïve and honest Caterina becomes drawn into both the left-wing and right-wing cliques of her class, the schoolyard politics begin to mirror contemporary Italy's great political divide. This delightful film was an unexpected Italian box office smash hit and should not be missed!
