Movie Review: Piuma
By Katie Rountree
Young love and the consequences of un-protected sex make up the story line for this sweet indie Italian film entitled Piuma, which means feather in English. Piuma was the closing film during the CineFesta Italia festival in Santa Fe this June. A roller coaster of emotions occurs between the two young lovers as they try to comprehend just how this unplanned pregnancy will affect their lives and the lives of their dysfunctional parents.

She will be in Santa Fe for a visit from June 26 – 28 & is offering special pricing on readings for Cool List members. Email me to schedule or for more info.
