To distract from the rather dark films that I watch lately, I watched the Italian dramatic comedy Caterina va in città (2003), directed by Paolo Virji. In the lead roles of Sergio Castellito and Margherita Bui, the role of the girl Katerina, their daughter, is played by Aliche Tegil. Teacher Giancarlo teaches accounting in a provincial school, is very heavy with his work, the subject is not interesting to students, and he himself rushes back to Rome, where he came from. Finally, his dream comes true, he is transferred, they move, he sends his daughter to the same prestigious school in which he once studied, in which the children of all famous people still study. Katerina, whose character is clearly not a pope, does not appreciate the rank of her classmates, can not fit into those companies that exist there in the class. She is a simple, humble girl who loves music (in the old town she sang in the choir), and these girls there quickly realized that they could use her, which they do - first one girl who took her under her wing, and then another company. And when all sorts of bad things happen, these girls get away with everything, because they have such wonderful parents who immediately excuse them. I must say that Giancarlo himself did not fit into the new conditions, he was eventually suspended from teaching, although he went out of his way to prove how wonderful he was, pushing his book in all sorts of funny ways, which did not interest anyone, especially since it turned out to be ripping porn, as the girls found out, after reading something there. Eventually, Giancarlo disappears altogether, and Katerina and her mother return to their old town. The film, of course, is nothing special, although the themes there, as is often the case in Italian films and even in comedies, are very acutely social. Time goes by, and the habits of the nobility do not change, no matter how thrashing those who are lower in rank.
