Alessandro and Anna meet by chance in a restaurant, after both being stood up by their dates.
In the beginning, Alessandro can’t stand Anna, who he considers to be intrusive and unattractive.
But throughout a long evening, which includes laughter, energised dancing and late-night bathing, the two get to know each other better and learn something more about themselves.
The film is showing as part of the Italian film series organised in collaboration with the Italian Institute of Culture in Sydney.
Ci vuole un fisico will be subtitled in English, with refreshments provided free of charge.
This year is the 25th year of activity of the Casula Powerhouse Arts Centre.
With over 140 languages spoken in the local area, Casula Powerhouse Arts Centre aims to represent Sydney city’s culturally diverse stories.
Hosted in the old Casula Powerhouse, once known as the Liverpool Powerhouse and which was built in 1951 by the NSW Electricity Commission, it is one of the most remarkable art centres in Sydney, and anyone can attend an event there to show their support.
“Channel your inner Italian through a wonderful community experience, which which we're bringing to you in partnership with Istituto Italiano di Cultura Sydney,” the arts centre said in an online statement.
The film will be screened on Tuesday, November 5, at 7:30 pm, at the Casula Powerhouse Arts Centre.
