UN BEL FERRAGOSTO
by Michela Guberti, Maurizio Iannelli
Five days in the domestic life of a young couple - the woman a stripper and the man a jobless person — in the oppressive heat of a Roman August. Elisabeth and Filippo live through the end of their love affair with clashes, warm moments, and moments of subtle intolerance.
"We would like documentaries to be experienced, shot, and seen as films" (Michela Guberti, Maurizio Iannelli).
