What happens

Come Play with Me (Italian: Grazie, zia) is a 1968 Italian drama film directed by Salvatore Samperi. It was listed to compete at the 1968 Cannes Film Festival, but the festival was cancelled due to the events of May 1968 in France. The English title is not a translation of the Italian one, which translates into English as "Thanks, Auntie". (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
