Film in Italian: Condotta

Cuba. Eleven-year-old Chala lives with his drug-addicted mother, who tries to support the family by breeding pigeons and training fighting dogs. His schoolwork isn’t the best because he never misses an opportunity to attract attention and get told off. His elderly teacher, Carmela, knows how to deal with him, but when she falls ill she is replaced by a much younger colleague who won’t put up with the boy’s misbehaviour. The school board decides to send him to a reform school, a correctional institution for unruly and troubled youths. Carmela does not think this is the right choice.

As part of the ‘Fino all’ultimo banco’ seminar series.
