A Special Day

On May 8, 1938, Antonietta, a naïve, sentimental and overworked homemaker, stays home doing her usual domestic tasks. Her fascist husband, Emanuele, and their six spoiled children take to the streets to follow a parade. The building is empty, except for the caretaker and a neighbor across the complex, a charming man named Gabriele. He is a radio broadcaster who has been dismissed from his job and is about to be deported to Sardinia because of his homosexuality and alleged anti-fascist stance.
