Filmed in black and white, “C’è ancora domani” (“There is still tomorrow”) has been a great success in Italian cinemas for several weeks. This film tells the story of the emancipation of a woman who lives under the yoke of her ultra-violent husband, in post-war Italy.
The story tells the daily life of a woman in a working-class neighborhood of Rome, Italy during the post-war period. Mother, subjected to an ultraviolent husband, one day she receives a letter in her name, which will create the trigger and lead her towards her emancipation. On paper, this black and white film about domestic violence did not lend itself to such popular success.
