Herbert Simone Paragnani

An English teacher at technical school in the outskirts of Rome knows that her twenty-four eighteen-year-old students do not consider her a human being, speak ill of her, are ready to contest her and feel a morbid curiosity towards her private life. Still, she tries to relate to them and the result of this effort is "a great love story". Cenciarelli describes the lessons (strictly in English, despite the students' protestations), the fights in and out of class, the students' tricks, their need to confront each other, their desire to show themselves superior, their weaknesses and their loneliness. As the seasons go by, the relationship between teacher and students becomes more complicated and deepens, alternating moments of great enthusiasm and great disappointment, until the baccalaureate exam, about which she cares more than they do.

Diego Viani is a former robber, well-known in the 1980s for his "unarmed" heists. His best friend is Michele Ragusa, a shabby private investigator scraping by on cases of marital infidelity. Working alongside him is Alex, an unpaid intern—a clumsy "mama’s boy" who dreams of becoming a detective despite having no talent for it. Everything spirals out of control when Diego’s past resurfaces in the form of Salamandra, an old accomplice. Salamandra accuses him of stealing the loot from their final job: five billion lire in gold bullion that vanished into thin air. When Salamandra dies under mysterious circumstances, Diego becomes the prime suspect. Commissioner Castrone, fueled by a long-standing personal vendetta, is convinced of his guilt. The only person who believes in Diego’s innocence is Ragusa, who decides to investigate with the help of the unlikely Alex.

Diego is a successful entrepreneur. Rich and not caring for the good of others, no scruples to belittle the next. His attitude turns against him when he forgets in his airport bathroom his latest-generation mobile phone with social profiles, contacts and credit cards.

A couple is desperately looking to conceive a child and moves to Spain to get the help of a renowned doctor. Their plans change after they meet an apparently perfect girl that volunteers to carry on the pregnancy in their place.

Horror/sci-fi anthology with a punk streak, co-directed by and starring — among other newcomers — Asia Argento.

Ernesto and Filippo, two high school teachers, couldn’t be more different: Filippo is a cheerful liberal who is constantly online. Handsome and youthful, he is a serial seducer on the social networks. Ernesto, instead is a stern conservative, rigorously computerless. He is probably the last person around who still has a first-generation cell phone and his teaching methods are very traditional. They used to be best friends but an unresolved fight kept them far apart, until the day fate intervened and they found themselves teaching at the same school. Their opposite viewpoints will soon and inevitably lead to a new clash. The internet will force them to deal with their past, which resurfaces in the shape of Nina, a young woman who conducts an experiment on them: Filippo must try to leave the world of Internet and Ernesto must try to enter it.
