Maria is more than forty years, but does not look her age. She teaches in a night school and is a free and dynamic woman. She lives with the arrogance of having surpassed her separation, inclined towards books that have allowed her to establish her certainties between a strictly communist father and a Catholic mother. In the sixth month of pregnancy Maria gives birth to a daughter, who, according to the doctor could die now, or survive with severe disabilities. Maria is faced with the need to bridge the gap between the canonical time of the pregnancy and the birth of her daughter. 
Maria discovers that what she lacks is patience. She, in an attempt to help herself, starts reading books, a strategy she knows well and that has always allowed her to isolate herself from the rest of the world. But this time it is the reading that threatens to undermine her confidence, her identity. Meanwhile, around her continue the city rounds, which is evident from the night school and hospital events. Maria comes to realize that her usual white space is now empty and that real life is not what she has seen so far. And then what does it really mean to live? One just needs to wait and have patience.

7:45 pm : Cosmonaut (Italian/85mins/2009) 
Dir. Susanna Nicchiarelli. 
Luciana is 15 years old and has always been a communist. It is her elder brother who works with the Soviet Union and the spatial conquest and in spreading the passion for politics. It is in the local department of the FIGC that Luciana has all fundamental experiences of her life. However, she is very impulsive and unbiased even for her political partners and she therefore finds herself confronted by prejudice from others. Her brother, who was the only person always beside her is now unwell for he is now down with epilipsy. Luciana now has to force herself from within and be guided by the admiration for the first woman cosmonaut Velentina Tereshkova, for going forward.
