8 Storyline Italy, On the Bolognese hills, a family of decayed aristocrats survives its own economic decline in the only place that they have left: the estate of Villa La Quiete. They face the war and the crisis in the only way passed down by their families: by simply not caring. The Duke Pier Donato Martellini and the Duchess Romola Valli, tired and disheartened, reside in their villa with a skeleton domestic staff: a young blind gardener and a deaf butler who are both veterans; and Giovanna, a cook who is constantly angry and eternally in love. As if that weren t enough they have to look after the son Jean-Jacques: an immature fifty-year-old who spends his days composing poems having only one recurring theme: the Bologna Footbal Club. The solution to all their troubles turns up at the villa on a ordinary afternoon: a man and two women who are on the run, ask the dukes for shelter; they are Jews, they re called Beniamino, Anna and Stefania. They are disposed to pay one gold bar for each month of their permanence and they promise to relocate somewhere else right after the end of the war. The Duchess, after having accepted, tries anything to sedate in the bud every attempt of the domestic staff to steal the treasure of their guests and takes matters into her own hands. Hers is a simple order: do nothing, wait for the family of refugees to keep the promise and give as many gold bars as possible. This way they will allow the decayed Martellini to reacquire movable and immovable properties, frills, family memories, silk tablecloths, ivory brushes, collections of rocking unicorns that had to be to paw, sell or give away throughout the years. The rents follow one another, the gold bars pile up and right in the moment the Duke and the Duchess finally glipmse an aristocratic renaissance, the war ends. Terrified by the possibility of loosing their only source of income, with the help of the son and the domestic staff, they organize a series of rocambolesque gimmicks, pantomimes and subterfuges faking that the conflict has not ended yet. But one day, a man that Anna, Stefania and Beniamino know well turns up at the villa: Franco. From now on everything changes, and nothing will be as it seemed anymore.

11 Bologna F. C. in the film Bologna Football Club and its glorious past stand as a backdrop of this film full of history and plot twists. In fact, one of the main characters of the film, cultivates an almost obsessive passion for the memorable footbal team: this narrative occasion gives the chance to revisit football events but also historical events related to the team during the tragic period of World War II. Particularly central is the memory of great Árpád Weisz, coach of Bologna FC between 1935 and 1938, winner of two championships and responsible for only on thing: being Jewish. Not even his impecable athletic past saved him and his family from the ferocity of the Nazis and from the gas chambers in Auschwitz where he died in This tragic story approaches the film with a bittersweet taste which, although it can raise audience s laughter, wants to show that, behind what could be considered a game, sorrows, suffering, sacrifices are hidden and, in some cases, lost lives that cannot be forgotten. An ecologically sustainable film Genoma Films is one of the very few producers who decided to shoot a film in the pursuit of environmental sustainability starting from its planning, being able to record all the actions throughout the shooting and not only at its end. The film has been constantly screened, during the pre-production phase, during the shooting and in post-production too. The study for the realisation of an environmentally low impact film, carried out by Azzero CO 2, is based on the analysis of CO 2 emissions, determined by energy consumption and transports related to the shooting of the film and by the fulfillment of good practices aiming to reduce climate-change emissions. The study is based on the regulation ISO 14064, aiming to confer credibility and assurance to reports and declarations of gas carbon emissions. Solidarity Genoma Films prodly sustains foundations, associations and institutions that for years have been committed for the good of the community: from diseased people to cultural minorities, culture and environment, children and old people causes.
