On a beautiful Roman terrace, Arturo and Alessandro (Stefano Accorsi and Edoardo Leo), a handsome, fortysomething, long-term gay couple, are celebrating their marriage but clearly in crisis. Suddenly, Alessandro’s best friend and ex-lover Annamaria (Jasmine Trinca) bursts in, suitcases and children in tow. She won’t be staying long (she’s due to be hospitalized on account of suspicious headaches), but her two young children are there for the long haul, whether the men like it or not. The couple now find themselves faced with a level of responsibility that eclipses their problems, as it opens them to the world of extended families and love in all its forms. Directed by festival favorite Ferzan Özpetek (STEAM, SLGFF 1998; IGNORANT FAIRIES), this award-winning feature is sure to be the next to delight.
