“An old-fashioned romantic drama (The Guardian) L’ombra del Giorno (The Shadow of the Day) is a film set in a provincial town (Ascoli Piceno) in the late 1930s. Luciano, a Fascist sympathizer, like the vast majority of Italians, is the owner of a restaurant, who nevertheless believes he can live his life according to rules he has set himself, in a sort of isolation from the outside world. But at the window overlooking the old square, along with the worrying signs of something that is about to happen in the world, a young woman appears bearing a secret. From that point on, life will never be the same for Luciano and among the dangers he faces, there is the greatest of all: love.
