Summer Arena: Amarga Navidad

The “Guido Sacerdote” Arena returns as the star of Alba’s evenings with the new edition of Summer Arena, featuring Cinema, Music, and Theater events promoted by the City of Alba’s Department of Culture and Tourism.

The program will speak different languages, ranging from great cinema to live music, from theatrical entertainment to public meet-ups in a summer lounge setting within the “G. Busca” Social Theater area, with the entrance on via Accademia.

Movie lovers will find a carefully curated selection of screenings, highly anticipated by the public, every Tuesday and Thursday at dusk.

The series is curated by Cinecircolo Il Nucleo.

Amarga Navidad

By

Pedro Almodóvar

Spain 2026.

A director writes the screenplay for his new film and imagines the story of an advertising director who creates by drawing inspiration from the lives of her loved ones.

But what does it mean for a writer to be inspired? Isn’t it perhaps like stealing?

Almodóvar explores the nature of cinema with an incredibly moving meta-literary melodrama.

In case of bad weather and the cancellation of a screening, the same title will be shown the following Sunday.
