INDAGINE SU UNA STORIA D'AMORE
by GianlucaMaria Tavarelli
Country: Italy
Year: 2023
Duration: 100'
Paolo and Lucia have always loved each other, inevitably blending together, unable to know where one begins and the other ends. They have grown up together, studied together with the same passion and a common goal. Today, slightly disillusioned, they must realize that their careers haven’t reached the point they had hoped for when they first met and embarked on their journey with enthusiasm and carefreeness. Perhaps even their relationship isn’t aging so well. In this era of hyper-exposure, they feel too under the radar. And if they were asked to participate in a TV program to share their love story, especially their moments of crisis? Could it be an opportunity to rejuvenate, to be reborn? Will it be a blessing or a ticking time bomb?

Declaration
film director
“I set out to tell this strange love story by immersing it in our modern-day society, shifting onto the screen the elements of our daily lives now irrevocably linked to the portrayal of our existence through social media, the perpetual desire for visibility, showcasing ourselves, and snooping into the lives of others.”
