A Romanian-Italian comedy-drama inspired by a true story, Catane follows a rural village thrown into panic when authorities investigate claims that nearly every household has registered a person with disabilities to avoid state taxes. Blending satire, humor, and social commentary, the film explores themes of survival, bureaucracy, and community resilience. The feature-length debut of Ioana Mischie, whose previous work has been showcased at Cannes and the Venice Biennale, Catane premiered internationally at the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) and received several festival nominations
