, this time offers the story of a woman (Alba Rohrwacher) in a relationship whose life is turned upside down when she meets a man (Pierfrancesco Favino), who is himself married. The two have an intense love affair, but will face practical and moral problems against the backdrop of a contemporary Milan.

Warner Bros Pictures Italia will release the film domestically on April 30. “We decided to set back the [release] date,” says company president Paolo Ferrari, “because we wanted to give the film the long release and exposure it deserves, to escape the funnel of Italian films launched in the first three months of the year, and to give audiences time to appreciate and choose it.”

Producer Lionello Cerri concurs: "This change will furthermore contribute an extension of the season for art films as well, guaranteeing titles not only for multiplexes but also for urban cinemas”.
