Monthly meeting of the Arthouse Cinema group. If the group is restarted as hoped, our film in June will be The Children's Train (Il treno dei bambini), a 2024 Italian drama film co-written and directed by Cristina Comencini, based on the 2019 novel of the same name by Viola Ardone. It stars Christian Cervone, Barbara Ronchi and Serena Rossi.

In 1946, Antonietta, an impoverished single mother, arranges for her son Amerigo to travel from Naples to northern Italy to live with a host family as part of the treni della felicità (trains of happiness) initiative. The initiative was organized by the Italian Communist Party (PCI) to transport poor southern Italian children to northern families who could support them in the years after World War II.

Running time 1 hour 46 minutes.
