(2018) won the Nastro d’Argento for Best Debut Feature.

The subject and the screenplay are by Enrico Audenino and Valerio Mastandrea. A man quietly spends his days in hospital without too many worries. He recovers soon enough, but this condition seems to be the best mode in which to live his life, sheltered from everything and everyone, without responsibilities and problems of any kind. It’s really nice in there, and even if some ward mates feel trapped, he feels free there like nowhere else. This precious routine runs smoothly until a new person is admitted to the same ward. She is a restless, angry companion, who does not accept anything of her condition, especially the unwritten rules. She doesn’t have the patience to wait, and instead wants to leave this place feeling better or even worse. She wants to live as she should or die, as happens to those who finish in there. The man is overwhelmed by that fury and first tries to defend himself, but then welcomes something incomprehensible. This encounter will help him accept that if he chooses to truly face his heart and emotions, there is no possible cure.

Nonostante is produced by Viola Prestieri and Valeria Golino for HT Film, Francesco Tatò and Oscar Glioti for Damocle, Moreno Zani and Malcom Pagani for Tenderstories with Rai Cinema. The editing is by Chiara Vullo, the cinematography by Guido Michelotti, the costumes by Veronica Fragola and Carlotta D’Alessio, the casting by Gabriella Giannattasio. The film will be distributed in Italian cinemas by BiM Distribuzione.
