Better known for his crime movies, Fernando Di Leo’s To Be Twenty (Avere Vent’Anni) takes the sexuality inherent to all his films and puts it at the core of the story. Twenty, beautiful, sexy and liberated, and fed up with their provincial lives, Lia and Tina decide to hitchhike their way to Rome to find a commune where they can stay and live the life of free love…or so they think. Things don’t go as they have planned and soon they become involved in prostitution, the police and an aggressive gang which all culminates with a brutal and unexpected violent end. Part of the censoring of many Italian films of the 1960s and 1970s that showed sex and politics on screen.

Note: we are screening the uncensored director’s cut which contains the original and rather violent ending.
