From Italian Film Festival in Vietnam:
A gentle comedy set in Milan in the 1960s, “Zamora” tells the story of Walter Visamra, a thirty-year-old accountant working in a small factory in Vigevano. When the company suddenly closes, Walter is forced to seek new employment in the bustling metropolis of Milan, where he finds himself working for the football-obsessed Cavalier Tosetto, a boss who expects his employees to share his passion for the sport. Constantly mocked by his colleague Gusperti, both on and off the field, Walter, who has little interest in football, is given the nickname “Zamora,” after the famous Spanish goalkeeper of the 1930s. Unable to tolerate the humiliation, Walter devises a plan to get revenge on Gusperti, setting in motion a series of humorous events that explore themes of friendship, love, and self-discovery as a single thirty-year-old man steps outside of his comfort zone.
“Zamora”, described as “classic, simple, yet fresh and surprising,” premiered at the Villerupt Film Festival, followed by a screening at the Bifest in Bari, before its theatrical release in Italy in April 2024.
Each screening will be followed by a Q&A with Mr Antonio Termenini, Artistic Director of the Italian Film Festival in Hanoi.
