Primavera - Damiano Michieletto

Italy, 110 minutes 18th-century Venice offers few opportunities for Cecilia, who grows up in the della Pietà orphanage. She is a talented violinist, but when she performs for benefactors and sponsors, she always has to stand behind a screen or wall. Her only way out of this holy house, run by strict nuns, seems to be an arranged marriage. But when the institution hires the composer Don Antonio, Cecilia's life takes a drastic turn. After all, his last name is Vivaldi. The film is inspired by the real life of Vivaldi, who taught at the orphanage for almost thirty years. An imposing and compelling costume drama full of stunning images and unforgettable music. Note, the start time of the film may vary.
