Hotel Gagarin
Sunday 24 March – h 19.15 • Cinema Marconi
TRIP TO ITALY
Five penniless Italians are convinced by a producer to shoot a film in Armenia. Incredulous and happy with the opportunity, they reach the country and set up the camp in the luxurious and isolated Hotel Gagarin. The outbreak of a war won’t let the five leave the hotel; the producer, moreover, runs away with the money. A grotesque situation which, however, becomes an occasion for redemption for the protagonists, who’ll be able to find a happiness that will change their lives forever.
