There's Still Tomorrow (Italian: C'è ancora domani) is a 2023 Italian period comedy-drama film, co-written and directed by Paola Cortellesi in her directorial debut.[4] Set in postwar 1940s Italy, it follows Delia breaking traditional family patterns and aspiring to a different future, after receiving a mysterious letter. It stars Cortellesi, Romana Maggiora Vergano, Emanuela Fanelli, Valerio Mastandrea, Francesco Centorame, Vinicio Marchioni and Giorgio Colangeli. There's Still Tomorrow was shot in black-and-white in the neorealist style of the 1940s and 50s.

The film won three prizes at the Rome Film Festival, the Nastro d'Argento of 2024[5] and is the most successful film at the Italian box office in 2023,[6][7] and the 10th highest-grossing film in the country of all time.[8] It was critically acclaimed by Italian film critics, who appreciated its direction and screenplay in dealing with issues related to feminism and patriarchy, as well as the acting, particularly of Cortellesi, Fanelli and Mastandrea.[9][10] It received a leading 19 nominations at the 69th David di Donatello, and won 6 awards: Best New Director and Best Actress (for Cortellesi), Best Supporting Actress (for Fanelli), Best Original Screenplay, the David Youth Award and the David Audience Award.[11]
