Our Life

Italian drama about a loving, working-class father fighting to keep his family on track after the death of his wife. Nominated for the Palme d'Or and winner of Best Actor (Elio Germano) at Cannes 2010.

"Germano (Her Whole Life Ahead), one of Italy's top young actors, plays Claudio, a construction worker living on the outskirts of Rome with a wife (Isabella Ragonese, Her Whole Life Ahead) he adores and two small children, with a third on the way. When tragedy befalls the family, Claudio leans on his boss, Porcari (Giorgio Colangeli), to give him his own construction site to supervise. In exchange, Claudio will keep a secret that Porcari is determined to cover up." (Italian Film Festival 2011)
