The Ties
Drama
Naples, early 1980’s. Aldo and Vanda go through a separation, after he reveals his affair. Their two young children are torn between their parents, in a whirlwind of resentment. But the ties that keep people together are inescapable, even without love. Now, 30 years later, Aldo and Vanda are still married.
VIBE
A quiet, simmering drama about the enduring, often painful, bonds of marriage. It feels like watching a slow unraveling, where resentment and obligation intertwine, leaving a lingering sense of melancholy.
