UN CIELO STELLATO SOPRA IL GHETTO DI ROMA


The past interlaces with the present: the discovery of a mysterious yellowed photograph depicting a little girl will lead Christian and Jewish students to search for the truth. They undertake a journey through the memory of a painful past that is hard to forget, such as the memory of the raid on the Jewish ghetto of Rome.


A starry sky above the ghetto of Rome , a film directed by Giulio Base, tells one of the saddest chapters in history, that of the Shoah. An adventure in the Jewish quarter, the one experienced by Sofiaand a group of young people. After finding a letter and a photo of a little girl, the boys will search for a hidden truth. To reveal the mystery that the photo hides, Sofia and her friends will embark on a journey in stages in the old Jewish ghetto that will bring back memories of the past, indelible memories that must not be erased. It doesn't matter if the kids are Christians or Jews, the Holocaust is a story that unites all of them and the group of friends will tackle this journey with a single final destination in mind: a new hope.
