On Wednesday 18 November 2026 at 19:00, Cinema Manzoni in Pontremoli hosts another edition of Cine, Ma… Not Just a Film, an event dedicated to independent cinema and sharing ideas. The evening is organised by Start Working Pontremoli in collaboration with CineClub Lunigiana.
The film
The programme features The Hundred-Foot Journey, a 2014 comedy directed by Lasse Hallström and starring Helen Mirren, Om Puri, Manish Dayal and Charlotte Le Bon.
The story follows the Indian Kadam family, who open a restaurant in a village in the south of France, right opposite a renowned French restaurant. Rivalry between traditions gradually gives way to collaboration and growth, while young chef Hassan tries to reconcile his roots with his desire to build a future. The film explores themes such as dialogue, openness to others and overcoming prejudice.
The discussion
The screening is intended to prompt a sharing of thoughts and perspectives. The evening also includes a sociable apericena (drinks and dinner), giving people a chance to get to know one another and continue the conversation in an informal atmosphere.
