A Second Childhood - cinema

directed by Pupi Avati (Italy, 2010, 98 min.)
followed by an encounter with Amalia Giuffrida and the director.
Pupi Avati explores almost on tiptoe the tragedy of a disease, degenerative dementia, that rocks the daily life of those who suffer from it and of those around them, bringing with it a heart-rending return to childhood as a form of consolation for a declining existence.
