Passion's flames are rapidly kindled and result in steamy encounters. Using a true-to-life documentary style, Soldini has crafted a poignant film that tempers the unbridled passion of an illicit affair with the anxiety and dread of leading a double life. Saturday, November 10: 2:00 pm: When the Night (Quando La Notte) Drama, 2012 Cristina Comencini’s drama traces the hesitant romance between a young mother failing to cope and a rough-hewn mountaineer she meets on vacation in the Alps. 4:00 pm: Standing Room in Paradise (Posti in Piedi in Paradiso) Comedy, 2012 Ulysses, Fulvio and Dominic are three divorced fathers who are forced give most of the money they earn to their ex-wives and children.

(Che Ne Sara’ di Noi?) Comedy, 2009 A coming-of-age comic tale about three eighteen-year-olds just out of high school who go to a Greek island following one of the boys' older girlfriend.
