What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
The story follows Roberto, Fabio, and Adrian through separate romantic disruptions associated with youth, long marriage, and post-divorce maturity.
Roberto's meticulously arranged future is unsettled when his expropriation case brings him into contact with Micol, while Fabio and Adrian likewise face unplanned desire.
The film moves between Rome, a Tuscan village, professional life, apartment-building community, and familiar Italian social rituals.
Fabio's long marriage and Adrian's dormant romantic life receive as much narrative attention as Roberto's youthful engagement.
