Anacronistico stars Cristian Cocco as both actor and director. Filmed partly in Sardinia, the film features a well-known cast: comedian Enzo Jachetti, Steven Basalari, Ana Cruz, Emilio Puggioni, Vanessa Mionotyti, Viviana Vizzini, Pippo Pelo, Carlo Porru, and Barbara Santagatti star in this inspirational comedy. The story follows a fifty-year-old, the son of Sardinian emigrants to Milan, who decides to return to Sardinia, to Villagrande Strisaili, his family's hometown.
It's the story of Federica and Riccardo, two young people united by an overwhelming love and a secret, who fall in love and live in a "bubble" of emotion, just like the protagonists of Shakespeare's tragedy. Unlike the original story, however, they don't have to contend with a family feud, but with external circumstances and Federica's illness. Their love story is constantly tested by reality, and they merge with her struggles and illness.
Claudio Nervi, an eclectic director, and Lucia Neve, a disillusioned producer, are looking for a new actress who could help them with their latest feature film, a project that is undoubtedly adrift. During a meeting with one of the most promising candidates, Stella, the girl will reveal them that the script of the movie is pretty similar to a story she knows well: the story of how she died.
Film "D." returns, the last Dogma 95 in the history of the movement, Italia Dogma #4, in the Director's Cut version, a reinterpretation of Dogma 95 after thirty years. Film D. is, indeed, the last Italian Dogma. The plot is that of an apartment building where the stories of six women intertwine, each with her own story, her own emotions, her own life, seeing reality through the eyes and heart of a woman. Film D. is, indeed, the last Italian Dogma.

Rebecca wakes up in a psychiatric clinic with no memory of her recent past.

"Giorni Felici" is an Italian drama film that tells the story of Margherita, an established actress, and her ex-partner Antonio. When Margherita is struck by ALS, the two reunite to confront the disease, grief, and the end of their lives, rediscovering the bond that united them and deciding to write a dignified ending to their story together.
In a village in Barbagia, Ignazio and his fellow shepherds are increasingly struggling. Some of them are protesting, blocking roads, while he is struggling with an economic crisis compounded by a disease affecting his sheep. One day, however, a stranger arrives, claiming he wants to abandon his life of excess. He also has an idea that could solve Ignazio's problems.
The dramas and joys of Rosa Balistreri, a legend of Sicilian folk song, emerge through her authentic story. It offers a glimpse into the singer's soul and her heart. Her past is marked by violence, abandonment, and impossible loves, and above all, a difficult motherhood that kept her distant from Angela, a distance for which the young woman blames only Rosa. Those who prevented these broken motherhoods were, above all, many inadequate or tyrannical men, and fragile women who suffered in silence.
