  Adua e le compagne

  Year: 1960

  Directed by: Antonio Pietrangeli

  Cast: Simone Signoret, Sandra Milo, Emmanuelle Riva, Gina Rovere, Marcello Mastroianni, Claudio Gora.

  In 1958, Italy’s government enacted the Merlin Law, which ended the entire system of legalized brothels. Adua and three of her co-workers put their savings together and decided to open a restaurant. 

  Director Antonio Pietrangeli always portrays strong women and the injustices made to them, and this movie is no exception. It focuses on the development of each character, their personal struggles, and the dynamic among the four of them

  Secure your tickets for an engaging and thought-provoking evening! Adua e le compagne delves into resilience, friendship, and societal change, all while capturing 1960s Italy with heart and nuance.
  

  The film will be screened in Italian with English subtitles at the Traffic Zone Building, 250 Third Ave N., 6th floor, Minneapolis, MN 55401
