Un futuro aprile, TV movie directed by Graziano Diana, opens with an evocative view of Trapani's historic centre overlooking the sea. The film is inspired by the Pizzolungo massacre of April 2, 1985, a mafia-related bombing aimed at eliminating Judge Carlo Palermo, which caused the death of a woman and her children.
Set on the streets of the Sicilian city, the film follows the story of Margherita (Ludovica Ciaschetti), the daughter who survived by chance, as her life intersects with that of the judge who escaped the massacre (Francesco Montanari), as they navigate anger, grief, and guilt.
Un futuro aprile produced by Rai Fiction and Elysia Productions, was filmed over four weeks with a crew of 60 in and around Trapani, specifically in Pizzolungo, a coastal hamlet of Erice close to the capital, and in the scenic landscapes of Valderice.
