SMALL BODY

A film by Laura Samani. 89m. Italy. Certificate 12A. Released in UK cinemas by Other Parties on 8 April 2022.

Italy, 1900. Agata's baby is stillborn and so condemned to Limbo. She hears of a place in the mountains where an infant can be brought back for a single breath, long enough to be baptised, and sets off carrying her daughter's body in a box. On the way she meets Lynx, a solitary boy who offers to help.

Other Parties' widest theatrical release to date: forty-nine venues across the UK. The release was supported by the Italian Film Distribution Fund.
