Claudia and Flavio were passionately in love for a long time. A professor of literature in Rome, Claudia met Flavio at a conference. And then it all ended. Flavio feels the need to move on, but Claudia doesn’t know how to fall out of love.

Francesca Comencini’s new film is a love story told with irony and great lucidity. The film comes to the Haifa Festival directly from its world premiere in Locarno.
