Drama

Jep Gambardella has seduced his way through the lavish nightlife of Rome for decades, but after his 65th birthday and a shock from the past, Jep looks past the nightclubs and parties to find a timeless landscape of absurd, exquisite beauty.

VIBE

A visually sumptuous, melancholic journey through Rome's decadent high society. It's a cynical yet beautiful slow-burn, exploring aging, artifice, and the search for meaning amidst fleeting pleasures and existential reflection, all bathed in an exquisite, dreamlike glow.
