La Grazia

From Oscar® and BAFTA award-winning director Paolo Sorrentino (The Great Beauty, The Hand of God), La Grazia is a sweeping exploration of love, duty, and personal freedom. Featuring a virtuoso performance by Toni Servillo – winner of the Best Actor Award at the 2025 Venice Film Festival – this heartfelt masterwork is a profound meditation on the choices that define a life.

Love. Doubt. Responsibility. Fatherhood. Ethics. These are the forces that shape Mariano De Santis (Servillo), the outgoing President of Italy. As his tenure nears its end, De Santis faces wrenching decisions – both political and deeply personal. Amid these moral quandaries, he must confront his own conscience and seek guidance from those closest to him, including his daughter, Dorotea (Anna Ferzetti). Together, they confront the timeless question: who owns our days?

An intimate reflection on identity and memory, La Grazia traces the indelible imprint one leaves behind through family and actions. Shot with Sorrentino’s signature poetic eye and enriched by an evocative, immersive soundtrack, it is a cinematic experience as visually sumptuous as it is emotionally resonant.
