Rewind a year and two films were sweeping box offices around the globe with their own moniker: Barbenheimer.
But Barbie and Oppenheimer's success were eclipsed in Italy by an entirely different film. C'è ancora domani or 'There's Still Tomorrow' in English is a black and white film, set in post-war Italy.
It's about a mother, Delia, trying to break the cycle of violence in which she's trapped.
It also looks at ingrained misogyny and women's rights - the film is set just a year after women in Italy earned the right to vote.
Despite those meaty themes, it's also a comedy - and that helped endear it to Italian audiences.
It was the most successful film in Italy last year - and the 10th highest-grossing film in Italy ever.
It stars Paola Cortellesi, who also co-wrote and directed the film.
She explained to Susie why she believes the story struck a nerve.
