To think that women not only could not vote in Switzerland until 1971, but “they were not allowed to open a bank account until 1988. They couldn’t sign contracts for an apartment.

“You laugh because it’s so horrible,” says Volpe, “and you can also see at the moment how important comedy is in America because you derive some kind of solace from it…I love movies that make me cry and laugh at the same time and I think humor is a very powerful tool to seduce people to come to the cinema and to open their hearts.
