Italian neorealism meets dramedy in star comedian Paola Cortellesi's playfully charming crowd-pleaser about the liberation of an oppressed working-class wife in post-war Rome.

Delia struggles to make ends meet in a city that rejoices that the war is over but still grapples with its aftermath. At home, she is scolded by her bedridden father-in-law and abused by her violent husband. When she's not taking care of the household and trying to keep her unruly sons in check, she rushes between odd jobs. Her only pleasure is taking a break for gossip at her best friend's market stand or rejoicing that her daughter has managed to fall in love with (what appears to be) a nice upper-middle-class boy. But one day, a mysterious letter arrives – leading to the film's utterly wonderful ending. It's no wonder that this perfectly polished gem – with the debut director herself in the lead role – has been seen by a record-breaking four million Italians!
