In this tangled and tantalizing Roman comedy, chaos rules the home of dance teacher Susi and her husband, freelance journalist Luca, a journalist who scrapes a living from small-scale projects, despised for his weakness by those around him, and who still depends on his former father-in-law, De Santis for help. When pious Irish art history student Mary Ann arrives to work as their young daughter’s au pair, her luminous presence proves a godsend to Susi—but an unsettling distraction to a suddenly lovestruck Luca. As Luca’s 17-year-old son from his previous marriage also falls for the alluring lass, each must decide what it means to truly live.
Presented out of competition at the Venice Film Festival, Francesca Archibugi is continuing her observation of the family and its many complexities.
