A May-December romance. Roué Giulio Marengo, a Roman landscape architect unhappy in his marriage, meets Francesca, a young and beautiful Florentine, and then learns she might be his daughter. He resolves to keep his hands off but can't seem to stay away, and she's eager for a lover who's a father figure.

VIBE

A deeply uncomfortable, yet compelling, exploration of desire and its tangled consequences. It feels like a hushed confession, heavy with unspoken truths and the weight of past mistakes, set against a beautiful, indifferent landscape.
