Io C'è (Just Believe) screening

2019-Feb-21 @ 19:00 - 20:40

The Little will screen Io C'è (Just Believe, Alessandro Aronadio, Italy 2018, 100 min.) as part of the Italian Film Series.

Massimo is a classic Italian "rascal," the owner of a B&B in the center of Rome, whose business is limited by tax constraints. He enviously watches as a convent run by nuns on the other side of the road welcomes in tourists, who leave spontaneous and lavish gifts at the end of their stay. All completely tax-free.

Massimo realizes that if he wants to avoid paying tax, he'll have to create a "place of worship." After trying to get into the more or less restricted circles of Catholicism, Judaism, and Islam with a series of rather hilarious meetings, Massimo has a sort of "epiphany" and decides to create a new religion. Assisted by his accountant sister Adriana and the boyfriend of his ex-wife Marco, a sort of guru-writer with no actual readers, the protagonist comes up with "Ionism," a religion that places the individual at the center of the universe. "You will have no God but yourself."
