Alice is twenty-two years old and has recently been living in the house she inherited from her grandmother in Cagliari's Castello neighborhood. She is lost and restless, invested by a whirlwind of blurred memories of her childhood. One day she goes to the prison to visit a man with whom she will reminisce about the vicissitudes of Silvia, a drug-addicted girl who was in and out of her daughter's life. Rosaria, a strong grandmother who gave up helping her own daughter to raise her granddaughter. And finally of Silvia's friend, French Julien, with his life punctuated by letters and poems, who had an almost paternal affection for Alice. But Alice did not go to Julien just to take stock of her family; she wants to know if he is her father. She will unexpectedly find the strength to return to her life and smile, not after that answer, but thanks to a boy who, like her, is connected to Julien's past.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
