The film is part of an ongoing series at Meta House, curated by Davide Posca.

Set in post–World War II Italy, the film follows a group of young orphans from Naples as they board a northbound train in search of temporary foster families in the sun-drenched Tuscan countryside. Serena Rossi (Cristiana) and Barbara Ronchi (Professor Guerrini) lead a caring team of volunteers who guide the children through unfamiliar stations and tender good-byes, forging unexpected bonds along the way.

With touching performances from Christian Cervone and Stefano Accorsi, Comencini’s lush cinematography captures both the hardship and hope of a nation rebuilding itself.
Free entrance—everyone is welcome. Don’t miss this chance to experience one of Italy’s most beautiful contemporary dramas.
