Rosa (Rosa Forlano), a 90-year-old Nonna, falls in love with a Robot while teaching it how to make spaghetti. Unfortunately, her family recipe is erased by a software update. TOTO is a sincere ode to traditions like Rosa’s—who’s also the real-life Nonna of filmmaker Marco Baldonado—while also a warning signal to hold them close in times to come.

A festival is a concentration of hope. Audiences hungering for something startingly new, famously familiar or just plain "good". Actors hoping their well-conceived sincerity and ritual entrances have that special glow. Press and critics poised to love or hate lucidly. And proud, desperate filmmakers looking for that little blessing on their latest self-projection. All squeezing together for a few days, in a few rooms wondering whether this will truly be the perfect place at the perfect time. Of course, it rarely is. Mostly it's just a collection of almosts. Delicious, shared almosts.
