Comrades - Almost a Love Story di Peter Chan (Film) (v.o. - sott. it)

Sure! Here’s the translation of the Italian text to English:

---

Two Chinese immigrants meet in Hong Kong in the 1980s and find themselves together several times over the course of a decade, united by common roots and separated by chance and life choices. Between daily survival, dreams of social ascent, and a heartbreaking love.

CINEMA IN FREEDOM FESTIVAL PROGRAM
On June 16, 2026, L'ARMATA BRANCALEONE will reopen for the summer the doors of the ExpostModerno arena, where the CINEMA IN FREEDOM FESTIVAL 2026 will take place.
During the festival, feature films and short films for young people and adults will be presented, and numerous meetings between authors and the audience will be organized. All arranged in a series of weekly events that will accompany you throughout the summer, until about mid-September.
This is an experiment in a participatory review in which associative realities and others converge, giving rise to a series of screenings for everyone… but truly for everyone: your little ones are included too. The Arena is also Pet Friendly!
We, the volunteers, will be in the arena to welcome you with the numerous organizations that have chosen to collaborate with us:
