100 Sundays

Antonio lives a quiet life with simple rituals: bowls with friends, looking after his aging mother, and maintaining a cordial relationship with his ex wife. His world brightens when his daughter Emilia announces she's getting married, and Antonio hopes to fund the wedding using a lifetime of savings. But the bank that has watched over his money grows unreliable: the staff vanish, and the director seems to rotate as if the institution itself is unsettled. The more Antonio tries to secure the dream reception, the clearer it becomes that those who guard our savings may not be guarding our dreams. The mood stays deliberate and intimate, resisting melodrama. Small rituals hint at a stubborn hope that cost and care can coexist, even when money rearranges priorities and the future feels uncertain. It remains intimate and humane throughout its run as a whole.

Directed by Antonio Albanese, 100 Sundays presents an original story by Piero Guerrera. This Italian drama, released in 2023, follows a man whose life is shaken when family ties and financial fears collide, and tests his ability to keep promises.
