Irma, Eugenia, Miranda and Rina. The film directed by Giuliana Gamba tells the story of four women, four middle-aged friends with very different characters, but linked by a friendship that has lasted for some time. A relationship cemented by the love for the game of burraco, as well as marked by their indispensable card games. Thanks to these meetings, the four friends escape from everyday life, exchange gossip and confidences, trying to mask their needs and their dissatisfactions. When the quartet decides to sign up for a national buraco tournament they will be forced out of their routine and suddenly find themselves with their cards exposed. The director’s intent is not only to tell a multifaceted female universe but also to talk about second chances. To interpret the four friends we find as many well-known faces of Italian cinema: Claudia Gerini, Angela Finocchiaro, Paola Minaccioni, Caterina Guzzanti. The film was presented out of competition at Bifest 2020.
