NSTORIES OF LOVE THAT CANNOTBELONG TO THIS WORLDAMORI CHE NON SANNO STARE AL MONDODirected by Francesca Comencini Starring Lucia MascinoDrama, Italy

Claudia and Flavio loved one another for a long time, obsessively, and with theclemency of the changing and passage of time. Then it all ended. For her, it was likeplacing someone at the door hoping that it would suddenly open. At fifty years ofage, what they see is a world adrift, like an island. He has within him the fury thatprovides absolution, because he wants to move forward, to get back down to earth;she is a deep well to be drowned in, because saving oneself would mean forgetting,and the memory must never disappear. The time they allow themselves– andperhaps not only that – is not the same. Flavio meets Giorgia – an instant betweenthem is all it takes, and the summer rain does the rest. She, with the energy andfreshness of a thirty-year-old, and the coltish body of someone who does not wish togrow, has already shown him solid ground, and he, burdened by life, has abandonedhimself to his desires. Claudia and Nina already knew one another – but atuniversity, divided by their role, their ages, and the idea that respect would neverturn to love. And yet Nina is absolutely beautiful, seductive and marvellous. Now herembrace is ravenous, and has a power that no woman can escape.

The film is the portrait of two generations, the stitch repairing the pain, a powerful story that speaks of us.
