The Siege of Paradise

The Siege of Paradise is scheduled for release on June 7, 2026. Set in Cinque Terre on Italy's northern Riviera, the film traces six separate lives unfolding simultaneously over one summer season, in a place where a resident population of under 3,000 contends with over four million tourists each year. The narrative moves between those storylines to examine the pressures that mass tourism, amplified by social media, places on a small coastal community. The tone is described as both comedic and emotionally grounded.
