Domani Interrogo is a comedy about a generation, in which the clash between teachers and students goes beyond the classroom to tell the story of the difficult lives of young people and their families.

It follows an English teacher (Anna Ferzetti) who is terrified of her students but firmly believes in the fundamental educational value of school. She is assigned to a challenging high school in Rebibbia, a neighbourhood of Rome. Her colleagues have long given up hope of getting through to the students in the final-year class, a group of particularly difficult and withdrawn teenagers, a jumble of urban cultures and backgrounds.

Amid smoking, broken families, drug dealing and first loves, sex and resignation, the teenagers waste their days on weed, mobile phones and prejudice, convinced that life beyond the school gates is nothing but hostile and closed to them. The teacher — or rather, “Pressoré”, as everyone calls her — has three options: run away like her predecessors, stop caring, or step unarmed into this den of lions. In her often futile attempts to understand them, she eventually manages to win their hearts and give meaning both to their education and to her own life as a teacher.
