This is a strange, distressing, unpredictable, painful, touching and fascinating film, which stages the true power of the mysteries of Life and Mind, true regulators of our doubts and desires, the most unknown and shocking ones to ourselves even before to anyone else.
The D'Innocenzo twins continue their already impactful cinematographic journey with a third film that reconfirms their sincere desire to bring a direct and incisive cinema without accepting compromises and putting into play all their inspiration that allows them to realize every kind of story in a sincere and competent way, bringing a clear breath of fresh air to the cinema scene, not only Italian, of recent years.
A truly peculiar story that from the very first frame throws the viewers without warning into a quick journey without restraints, making them walk side by side with the protagonist himself, an ordinary man who leads a stable life and seasoned by success at work and by the unconditional love of his wife and daughters, 'til the most unexpected and chaotic discovery that will truly turn everything he knows upside down.
This is a real Thriller capable of putting in check and mercilessly hitting every certainty of those who take part in it, both as a spectator and as an integral part of the story, starting with Massimo, rendered by Elio Germano who as always releases his essence of a true actor able to adapt to any atmosphere, transmitting all the sensitive fragility of a man who has everything but who, forced to face such an incredible unexpected event, finds himself exposing even more the suffocating elements that surround his not so sure existence, despite the evident affection of his loved ones.
The direction of the twins immediately keeps us in suspense, always using very close-ups that directly crush the settings and faces to outline a feeling of ample vastness and at the same time of claustrophobic oppression, thanks also to the great photography and the unique sets that illustrate a Latina immersed in the glowing atmosphere of radiant growing instability.
