The film “Il Maestro”, starring Pierfrancesco Favino, will be screening at the Cristal cinema in Salò on November 22, 23, and 24. This Italian comedy, directed by Andrea Di Stefano, tells the story of Felice, a promising thirteen-year-old tennis player, who is placed under the guidance of Raul Gatti, a former champion with a troubled past. Set in the 1980s, the plot explores themes such as family expectations and the quest for personal freedom through a journey that becomes a growth opportunity for both protagonists. The film pays homage to the Italian comedy genre with a bittersweet narrative and moments of subtle humor. Critics have praised Favino’s performance and the film’s ability to reflect on human ambitions and vulnerabilities. After its screening in Salò, “Il Maestro” will also be shown in other locations, including Lonato and Brescia, before reaching Riva del Garda on December 20 and 21. Italian Version
