The film is a rendition of Resurrection, Tolstoy’s last novel. It begins with a reading of the beginning of the first part in Naples, in September 2012. It moves on to Berlin, Locarno 2013, Oneglia, Paris, Casalborgone, and it ends in Milan with the beginning of the second part. The places and times change, and so do the people doing the reading. But also, in the middle, real people and voices surface, like Adamo Vergine at his home and Jean François Neplaz in Marseilles. The film searches for the possible faces of Tolstoy’s two protagonists in Oneglia, Procida, and Casalborgone.

1983年夏、北イタリアの避暑地で家族と過ごす17歳のエリオは、大学教授の父が招待した年上の大学院生オリヴァーと出会う。一緒に自転車で散策したり泳いだり、読書したり音楽を聴いたりするうちに、エリオはオリヴァーに恋心を抱く。やがてその思いは通じるが、夏の終わりが近づくにつれてオリヴァーが避暑地を去る日が近くなる。
Absirto, le frère
Irene moves to Paris to begin a new life with her husband Jason and their two daughters, but an act of betrayal and her desire for revenge soon sends her to the brink of madness.
This film tells three different love stories, or alleged love stories, or, nevertheless, stories of sentimental relationships set in the Lazio countryside, Rome, and Naples. This is the reiteration - in different days and in different places - of an encounter among three people that (perhaps) may turn out to be fatal.
