Dino and Anna are a couple in their forties. Their relationship is hardly conventional: in fact, it is unconsummated. Dino gets out of it, gratifying himself with prostitutes and swingers. He reaches his nadir when he looks up Anna’s old boyfriends to ask about their sexual relations with her, and even begs them to take her back, as a way to end their relationship. Anna can’t find a way out herself; she can’t bring herself to end this one-of-a-kind, tormented love affair. In the end, Dino’s angst is what makes her feel loved, feel unique. No solution seems to be waiting in the wings.

В этой блестящей романтической комедии незамужняя женщина средних лет занимается подготовкой свадьбы своей сестры. Джованне уже за сорок, и в жизни у неё лишь один или два раза были серьёзные отношения с мужчиной; она считает Алессандро, жениха сестры, наглым и претенциозным, но по ходу подготовки свадьбы с удивлением замечает, что её всё больше тянет к нему, а его – к ней. В лучших традициях жанра автор сценария и режиссёр Нина ди Майо ставит своих героев в двусмысленное положение и открывает нам удивительные семейные тайны. Рассказывая о том, как притягиваются противоположности, режиссер для раскрытия характеров героев пользуется широкой палитрой – от любовной лирики до современного рока...
