La gerla di Papà Martin (1924)

Directed by Mario Bonnard

· 1h 16m

An ageing couple, Papa Martin and his wife Genovieffa, live modestly while their son Armando and goddaughter Amelia complete their studies away from home. When the young pair return to celebrate Armando’s law degree, a debt collector exposes that his qualification is forged and demands repayment. To protect his son’s honour, Papa Martin sacrifices his own comfort, returning to work and sending Armando away to start anew. As time passes, the family’s love, guilt, and redemption intertwine in a heartfelt story of sacrifice and moral reckoning.
