Director: Rocco Di Mento - 2020 - 84 Min.
Driven by the desire to find a solution for the pain and conflicts spreading through his family, Rocco Di Mento deep dives in the drawers and the spare rooms to meet the ghost of his grandfather Costantino. The epic search of a romantic hero turns out to be a painful discovery of unfulfilled love, unhealed wounds and missed opportunities among three family generations.
“I discovered that talking about love in its essence nowadays, means more than anything reflecting on our identity: the way we love, or better, the way we think we love, tells about us as Human Beings and about our deepest desires and illusions.” Rocco Di Mento
