Piccoli borghesi

Piccoli borghesi follows a vignettes-driven arc centered on the subtle, often ironic rhythms of middle-class life. Through a series of observational scenes, the film examines the small pretenses and everyday ethics that color ordinary interactions—from family dinners and neighborly chat to workplace exchanges and social rituals. With restrained humor and keen-eyed humanity, it sketches a portrait of how private desires collide with societal expectations, prompting quiet realizations about identity, belonging, and the costs of living up to “proper” appearances. A reflective, humane slice-of-life that dwells in the grey areas between politeness and truth.
