La gioia
Open Roads: New Italian Cinema 2026
May 28 - June 4
An eminently playful and surprising Valeria Golino is a cloistered high school teacher who forms an improbable relationship with one of her students, a hustler selling his body to support his mother, in Nicolangelo Gelormini’s dark comedy, which premiered at the Venice Film Festival.
A blackly comic tale about the fragility of human connection in a cynical world, Nicolangelo Gelormini’s new film stars Valeria Golino as a cloistered high school teacher living under the oppressive thumb of her parents. An improbable relationship emerges between her and one of her students (Saul Nanni), a hustler selling his body to support his mother, and the fallout finds sexual repression and quasi-nihilistic social ambition colliding to terrible, engrossing effect.
