Dio Salvi la Regina (God Save the Queen) follows Diana, an ordinary woman with an ordinary life ... until one day, in the chaos of just trying to ‘get on with it’, she decides that she deserves better. She should be the Queen of her realm. So that’s exactly what Diana does. She declares her home completely independent from the Italian State, and naturally, she will be the Monarch, while her lovable rag-tag tribe of family and friends will become her ‘people’. Naturally, the results are a comedic pandemonium. They′ll have to create a constitution, choose a language, figure out laws and most importantly, the entire family will learn about the responsibility that comes with ‘great’ power. God Save the Queen is an unashamedly feel-good comedy that takes a little story and allows us to reflect on big-picture issues. A film that is charming, philosophical, and humble.
Directed by Andrés Arce Maldonado
Starring Sibilla Barbieri, Igor Mattei, Mariano Rigillo, Babak Karimi
Screening in Italian with English subtitles.
