DOLCE FINE GIORNATA

Storyline

Maria Linde, an independent Jewish-Polish Nobel laureate, lives in Tuscany, surrounded by warmth and chaos in her family’s villa. A loving mother and grandmother, she secretly flirts with a much younger Egyptian who runs a nearby seaside tavern. After the terrorist attack in Rome, Maria does not fall into hysteria and the anytime-immigrant mood that quickly spreads in the area. He decides, in his speech at a local celebration, to boldly denounce the violation of democracy in Europe. However, she is not prepared for the public and personal chaos her words will cause.

Movie trailer

Soundtrack

Music for the film by Jacek Borcuch – “Dolce Fine Giornata/Sweet End of the Day” is a musical story about the modern world, loneliness, impotence, fulfillment and passion written by musician and composer Daniel Bloom.

Muzyka do „Dolce Fine Giornata” miała być dość kameralna, tak jak historia rozgrywająca się w etruskim miasteczku Volterra. Filtrem, przez który chciałem opowiedzieć tą historię była perspektywa głównej bohaterki, poetki Marii Linde, granej przez Krystynę Jandę. Jej wewnętrzny świat, namiętność, samotność mimo sukcesów i wspaniałej rodziny, to była dla mnie bardzo ciekawa soczewka. Daniel Bloom

As part of our duties as co-producer, we were responsible for the entire acquisition of copyrights and related rights to the music used in the film. In addition to Daniel Bloom’s music, the soundtrack included “La Cirque” by Isaac Dunayevsky, “La Citta Vuotta” by Mina and “It Was A Very Good Year” performed by Frank Sinatra.
