"La Pivellina" of Tizza Covi and Rainer Frimmel at the "Golden Apricot" Film Festival
In the "International movie" competitive at the VI International Film Festival "Golden Apricot" "La Pivellina" (Girl) of an Italian director Tizza Covi and the Austrian director Rainer Frimmel is presented. The film tells of a two-year old girl, abandoned by his mother in the park and sheltered by the family of traveling circus actors.

"It was necessary to show the indifference of Italian society to people through the language of cinema. It became impossible do not talk about the problem, about the irresponsibility," Rainer Frimmel told today's meeting with reporters.

The film "La Pivellina" won the Europa Cinemas prize at the International Film Festival in Cannes in 2009.
