Caterina va in citt English title Caterina in the Big City is a 2003 Italian movie directed by Paolo Virz and written by Virz and Francesco Bruni.
He relocates his daughter Caterina and his timid, longsuffering wife Agata Margherita Buy to his birthplace, Rome, after having finally secured a longcoveted teaching position. The family settles in Giancarlos former district, where he reconnects with his neighbor and childhood friend, Fabietto Silvio Vannucci. Once settled in the Italian capital, Caterina enrolls in a fasttrack high school. She immediately finds herself pulled between two competing student cliques a leftist bohemian contingent headed by Margherita RossiChaillet and a rightleaning group headed by Daniela Germano. Both clique leaders come from socially prominent families. Margheritas mother is a noted intellectual and political writer. Danielas father is a government minister who married into a wealthy family.Margherita instantly adopts Caterina as her new best friend. The two girls attend rallies, visit graves of poets, and listen to Nick Cave records. Caterina eventually has a disagreement with Margherita due to being caught by her father drunk and having just gotten a tattoo from Margherita, and begins to gravitate toward Danielas group. Margherita kisses Caterina, but its a bit ambiguous as to whether this is to imply sexuality or a pact between them, as she says, to never betray each other. Daniela invites Caterina to join her at a wedding, where Caterina observes a group of neofascists pay homage to Danielas father Manlio who, it is heavily implied, is a covert fascist himself. There is also a subtle hint at an intimate relationship between Daniela and her fathers bodyguard. ........
