Set in the picturesque, provincial town Ascoli Piceno in central Italy, The Shadow of the Day is a dra- matic love story set in the late 1930s. Luciano, a wounded World War I veteran and a sympathizer of Fascism like most Italians at the time, runs a classy restaurant overlooking the town’s ancient square. One day, Anna appears, looking for work. A young woman with a dangerous secret, she is hired for a job in the restaurant. Slowly, affection creeps in between the two and among the many dangers Luciano faces, there is the greatest of all: love. “An extraordinary film that eloquently speaks to the present day.”—Riva Gambert.
