“The ache and ecstasy of love…”

DramaRomance

Vittoria is a beautiful literary translator living in Rome. After splitting from her writer boyfriend, Riccardo, Vittoria meets Piero, a lively stockbroker, on the hectic floor of the Roman stock exchange. Though Vittoria and Piero begin a relationship, it is not one without difficulties, and their commitment to one another is tested during an eclipse.

VIBE

A stark, coolly observed portrait of urban ennui and romantic detachment. Its minimalist aesthetic and deliberate pace create a palpable sense of alienation, reflecting the anxieties of a modernizing world. The film feels like a quiet, unsettling meditation on human connection.
