INTERNATIONALLY RENOWN “DAYS AND CLOUDS,” Film Movement Makes Italian Drama About Economic Ruin And the Fragility of Love Available on DVD

The art of reacting to adversity well is a lesson addressed in the Italian movie: Days and Clouds by Film Movement, and in today's economic climate in Manhattan, it very well is something many people here can relate to. Set in picturesque Italy with beautiful rolling hills, it is a story about perspective and what is important in life. Through watching this film, you will learn how to react positively, negatively, and in some cases not at all which can be either positive or negative, depending on the circumstance.

Parent/child and spousal relationships are gripping and sincere, and the characters have real depth. As the turning points progress, you will be enraptured with the storyline. Well-to-do and sophisticated couple Elsa and Michele have a 20 year-old daughter, Alice, and enough money for Elsa to leave her job and fulfill an old dream of studying art history. After she graduates, however, their lives change. Michele confesses he hasn't worked in two months and was fired by the company he founded years ago. Elsa overcomes her initial shock by pouring extra energy into facing the crisis and trying to adjust to their new lifestyle, while Michele, exhausted by an unsuccessful job hunt and gradually losing his self-esteem, lets himself go, alternating between violent anger and apathy. The growing distance between them eventually leads to a break-up. Only when they are apart will they realize that they risk losing their most precious possession: the love that binds them. Whom You Know recommends Days and Clouds.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
