A closet is being built in an apartment. We see the city from above, Rome in all its splendour. It’s a house with lavender satchels, the teenage daughter Sveva (Romana Maggiora Vergano) plays tennis. The father Daniele (Angelo Libri) brings back a gift basket from a conference. The family expects it.

The movie, an “emotional horror film” set in a version of Rome on the point of imploding, is produced by Propaganda Italia and Belgium’s GapBusters and stars Fabrizio Rongione and Cristiana Dell’Anna.

The subject together with the fine ensemble cast will likely see strong interest at home, but any kind of significant travel is unlikely apart from Italian showcases.
