2013 film directed by Rolando Ravello

Three families go into crisis when their daughters get engaged because they are convinced that their young daughters have all chosen a wrong partner.

The story of a loving couple who struggles to keep its relationship alive against the inescapable passing of time, told in a nonlinear way over the course of ten years in their lives.

Written by Genovese himself, together with Paolo Costella, Rolando Ravello and Isabella Aguilar, and based upon the director’s novel of the same name published by Einaudi, the story tells the tale of a man (Valerio Mastandrea), two women (Margherita Buy and Sara Serraiocco) and a boy (Gabriele Cristini) who are sure they’ve hit rock bottom. They meet a mysterious character (Toni Servillo) who offers to show them how the world would look without them over the course of one week and, in so doing, provides them with an opportunity to find the strength to start over and to fall in love with life again, the inestimable value of which is pushed to the fore.

Do we truly know one another? Every one of us has three lives: a public, a private and secret one. What we once stored in our memories is now being stored in our phones - what happens when these are made public?
