Il bell'Antonio
“...the frank story of a marital challenge”
Drama
Problems arise for Antonio Magnano when he is unable to consummate his marriage to the beautiful Barbara Puglisi and his virility is called into question. Despite the fact that he loves his beautiful wife and they have otherwise been happily married for a year, his problem becomes a source of contention for all concerned.
VIBE
A suffocatingly intimate drama exploring the quiet desperation of a man under immense pressure. It's a tense, character-driven piece that dissects societal expectations with a melancholic, almost anxious, gaze.
