Drama, by Matteo Piacenti, Corrado Bonicelli, Italy, 2020.
Viola is a lonely teenager who feels out of place in the world around her, inadequate and imperfect. The comfort and support of her parents and friends are of no use. Art is the only way she has to express herself: like a colorful mosaic, Viola represents her own world and her way of seeing reality, one drawing at a time. Then she meets Giacomo, her new deskmate. From the relationship between the two, something opens up in the shell that imprisons Viola in loneliness and social isolation. A new path opens up for her in this difficult adolescent phase, which leads her to realize something more about herself and the reality around her.

This is a film made by very young boys and girls who share a passion for films, theater, and art. The film explores the sensitivity of young people, encourages them to reflect on their own self-perception in relation to society, with a positive message and attitude towards themselves and the community. "The Girl from the Back Desk" highlights the values that adolescents believe are essential for a healthy society: respect, generosity, kindness, trust in others, courage in defending their ideals, and participation.
