Published in 1975 and adapted for cinema in 1977, La vita davanti a sé is the story of Momò, a ten-year-old Arab boy who lives in the multi-ethnic neighborhood of Belleville in the pension of Madame Rosa, an elderly former Jewish prostitute who now makes ends meet by taking care of the “accidents at work” of younger colleagues. Silvio Orlando leads us into the pages of the book with Momò’s lightness and irony, becoming with spontaneity, that child in his drama. An authentic masterpiece “for everyone” where emotion and fun endlessly chase each other.
