The San Diego Italian Film Festival presents "Smetto quando voglio":
Brilliant researcher Pietro is laid off when cuts are made at his university. What a common story in contemporary Italy! But Pietro reacts boldly. He decides to put together a gang with the best of his ex-colleagues, who are by now all underemployed. Macroeconomics, Theoretical Chemistry, Anthropology and Classics all turn out to be perfect for climbing the drug-dealer career ladder. Success is immediate, with money, power and women. But when you go up too fast, falling down loudly yet with great humor seems to be inevitable.
The film is shown in Italian with English subtitles
Admission/Cost:
Thursday, January 21 - 7:00 PM
