Babylon sisters
Gigi Roccati
A contemporary fairy tale that to the rhythm of music celebrates the strength and beauty of multiculturalism. Kamla recently moved with her parents into a run-down building on the outskirts of Trieste, where other immigrant families and an old professor who hates everyone live. When the eviction letter arrives, determined not to leave their homes, the men react angrily to the outlawed landlord’s threats, while the women unite to save the fate of their families, amid laughter, tears and misunderstandings. Meanwhile, Professor Leone and little Kamla, against her father’s wishes, become friends, while their mother Shanti soon reveals her talent for dancing like a Bollywood star. With the help of an Italian friend, the project of a dance school is born and in the neighbourhood people are already talking about the Babylon Sisters.
