The Tiger and the Snow (La tigre e la neve) follows Attilio, a poet who travels to Baghdad during the 2003 invasion of Iraq to save his love, Vittoria, who is on the brink of death.

The film blends humour, love, and the challenges of war as Attilio’s journey unfolds with determination and devotion.

This is an Italian film with English subtitles.

As part of Te Papa’s Annual Appeal, koha entry is encouraged to support the care and preservation of Aotearoa New Zealand’s taonga.
