Cosmonauta (2009) DVD

'I'm a Communist!" declares Luciana at age 9.

It's now 1963 and 15 year old Luciana has been obsessed with Russian space missions since she was a little girl, a passion passed on by her older, oddball brother Arturo. Like her father before her she is now a committed member of the local Italian Federation of Young Communists and is nursing a hopeless crush on the handsome leader of the group, also her friend's boyfriend. Susanna Nicchiarelli's first feature follows feisty Luciana trying to get the boys in her group to take her ideas seriously as she suffers through the initial blast off and return to Earth of first love.'
