Cairo – On July 26 at 8pm, the Italian Cultural Institute of Cairo hosts a screening of the film by Gianni Di Gregorio, “Mid-August Lunch.” The film tells the story of Gianni, a man with a full-time job: taking care of his mother, a capricious and oppressive woman. Mother and son live in a small apartment in the center of Rome and, covered with debts they struggle to get by. One day, in the middle of summer, comes Alfonso, the administrator of the building, to collect all unpaid bills. Alfonso suggests to Gianni a deal that would cancel the debt: for Gianni to host Alfonso’s mother as well for the summer. (9Colonne)
