There's Still Tomorrow

A box office sensation upon its theatrical release in Italy, THERE’S STILL TOMORROW is a black-and-white directorial debut from Italian comedian Paola Cortelles, an astounding film that is as empowering as it is humorous.

Delia (Cortellesi) lives in a working-class community in Rome in the late 1940s – a city divided between the positive thrust of liberation and the miseries of the war that has just ended – with her domineering husband, Ivano (Valerio Mastandrea,PERFECT STRANGERS), their three children, and father-in-law.

She rises above the daily challenges of family life; has a best friend with whom to share moments of levity, and dreams for her daughter Marcella to one day have a better life. Delia accepts her fate – the good with the bad – until one day a mysterious letter arrives.

Shot in resplendent black and white, in the style of post-World War II Italian neorealist filmmakers, THERE'S STILL TOMORROW is a critically acclaimed, bittersweet and empowering tale tinged with a comedic irony.
