“Italy is the place where they've made an art of everything - especially love!”

RomanceDrama

As Fabrizio contemplates joining the Communist Party, he breaks off his planned marriage to a bourgeois woman and becomes incestuously involved with his alluring aunt.

VIBE

A heady, romantic, and deeply melancholic exploration of youthful idealism clashing with political and personal disillusionment. It feels like a fever dream of intellectual passion and doomed romance, set against a backdrop of societal upheaval.
