Should to Shoulder

Shoulder to Shoulder, known in Italian as Spalla a Spadda, is scheduled for release on June 14, 2026. The film centers on a foreign writer who travels to Sicily convinced that careful, detached observation is sufficient to comprehend Sicilian culture and its people. Through a series of encounters and stories, he is gradually disabused of that notion. The film's premise holds that Sicily cannot be understood from a distance — only by standing beside its people, sharing their hardships and their moments of success, can an outsider begin to grasp what the place and its inhabitants are.
