Film Synopsis
At a family reunion to celebrate his eightieth birthday, Carlo revisits his past and recalls moments of joy and despair. He remembers his love affairs with Adriana and Béatrice, the turbulence and drama that came with Fascism, and the anxieties that took hold of him when his children were growing up. The family has been his life, his most cherished thing, but how things have changed....© James Travers
