“With this intense feature, crowned with the Europa Cinema label at the Directors' Fortnight, Italian director Jonas Carpignano plunges us brilliantly into the tunnel of disillusion through a teenager's quest for truth.” Joséphine Leroy, Trois Couleurs) “The new encounter with Jonas Carpignano has confirmed the hopes placed in this young Italian director. A Chiara, (…), finds very convincing accents as it supports the trajectory of a teenager faced with the discovery of the important role her father played in the mafia and the institutions claiming to sort out her future.” (J-M Frodon, Slate)
