Gramsci 44

In the midst of isolation, Gramsci 44 tells the story of an unlikely institution founded by Italian intellectual and Communist political figure Antonio Gramsci during his 44-day imprisonment on the island of Ustica in 1926-1927. Despite the challenges of restricted surroundings, Gramsci and his fellow prisoners defied the odds to establish a school that welcomed people from all walks of life, offering a beacon of hope and empowerment through education. The film is a poignant reflection on the power of knowledge and the enduring spirit of Ustica, which still awaits the arrival of the mainland boat, symbolizing the connection between isolation and the outside world.
