Official Competition Winner at the 2024 Sydney Film Festival.
The highest grossing film of 2023 in Italy (beating out Barbie and Oppenheimer), There’s Still Tomorrow is a vibrant, moving drama starring Paola Cortellesi in her directorial debut.
Delia lives in a working-class community in Rome in the late 1940s - a city divided between the positive thrust of liberation and the miseries of the war that has just ended - with her domineering husband, Ivano, their three children, and father-in-law.
She rises above the daily challenges of family life; has a best friend with whom to share moments of levity, and dreams for her daughter Marcella to one day have a better life. Delia accepts her fate - the good with the bad - until one day a mysterious letter arrives.
Shot in resplendent black and white, in the style of post-World War II Italian neorealist filmmakers, There’s Still Tomorrow is a critically acclaimed, bittersweet and empowering tale tinged with a comedic irony.
