Things from Another World

2011 · 95 min

A satirical comedy that uses a fantastical premise to poke fun at prejudice, offering a light but thoughtful watch.

Overview: Maroso Golfetto, a firm manager from Veneto, is known for his frequent yelling at his employees, who are either immigrants or Southern Italians. He regularly appears on the local TV channel to denounce the evils of immigration, and his popularity extends to children. His speeches resonate more deeply with people than those of Lucia, their anti-racist schoolmistress. One morning, a miracle occurs: by invoking the help of God to rid Veneto of its immigrants, all the immigrants disappear. However, is this truly a blessing?
How it feels: Satirical, absurd, cynical and light. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Immigration, politics, media, class
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
