After living in Egypt for a long time, Felice Lasco returns to Naples to visit his already elderly mother, from whom he left suddenly when he was still a young boy. Felice walks around the Sanità district as if looking for herself. Even the language feels foreign, even though it is his own. Somewhere in this labyrinth is her childhood friend Oreste, with whom Felice shares a secret. As its name suggests, Mario Martone's film explores nostalgia; how, on the other hand, it can help to understand and see everything further. But it's equally easy to get caught up in inexplicable nostalgia. Nostalgia, based on ErmannoRea's novel, was nominated for Italy's 2023 Oscar, and was awarded Nastrod'argentoby the country's film critics' association for best director, screenplay, actor and supporting actor. The film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival 2022.
