Set in post war Italy, There's still Tomorrow is a triumph fo Director, Writer and Star Paolo Cortellesi and a total box office sensation in Italy where it was the highest grossing film of any kind when it was released there, beating some Hollywood and local heavyweights along the way. 

Seeingly leading a traditional life, wife, mother of 3 , carer and cook for her father-in-law and someone who takes on extra work to make ends meet, Delia lives in fear of her husband Ivano who is dismissive, a drinker and no great thinker. 

Her daughter is to marry a boy from the right side of the tracks and she too is dismissive of her mother even when she witnesses what she goes through. She is convinced she is to escape the servitude and life her mother has through her marriage.

In 1946 post war Italy a refererndum is being held that will give the chance for all women to vote. 

A letter arrives at Delia's place which she must keep secret.
