Sunday 11th March ICA CINEMA 1: 20.30PM

UK premiere of Christina Commencini's slick and superbly acted drama, nominated for an Oscar© for Best Foreign Language Film. Determined to find out the truth behind her nightmares Sabina leaves her partner Franco and over-dependent friend Emilia to visit her brother in America. Her quest reveals the painful secrets that lie beneath the happiest of lives.

Upon finding out that she is pregnant, a window of memories opens up onto her inner world: her childhood, her family, the rites of a strict yet reassuring middle-class upbringing. But this is just the surface. Something dark and disturbing is stirring underneath…Don’t Tell is a powerful film about the chiaroscuro elements of normality, and the excesses of love, attraction and desire. Complex subplots add depth and drama to this psychologically & emotionally fascinating film.

"Don't Tell" is a persuasive if not groundbreaking drama’.- LA Times
