On Wednesday, December 11, 7:00 pm, don't miss In guerra per amore (At War for Love), a romantic comedy, Italian style. How far are you willing to travel for love? While working in a high-class restaurant in New York City in 1943, Arturo ("Pif") finds an answer to his question. A young Sicilian immigrant, he is broke an in love with his boss' niece, Flora (Miriam Leone), a beautiful Italian woman. The two want to marry, but they first need her father's blessing.
