A Matter of Heart
ComedyDrama
Garage owner Angelo and big-time film producer Alberto find themselves occupying neighbouring beds in a Rome hospital after suffering heart attacks. Alberto is a gregarious joker - and chain smoker - who has a strong effect on the impressionable Angelo. However, as one of the men's condition deteriorates, the other becomes more deeply involved in his personal life.
VIBE
This film feels like a warm, insightful conversation shared over coffee. It’s a gentle exploration of unexpected connections and the quiet moments that reveal life's true priorities. A thoughtful, character-focused experience.
