Two neighbours — a persecuted journalist and a resigned housewife — forge a strong bond on the day of Adolf Hitler's historic 1938 visit to Rome.
A stifling sense of dread permeates this claustrophobic portrait of two lonely souls finding refuge in each other amidst the rising shadows of fascism. Amidst the frantic energy of a city preparing for a dictator, these intimate, fragile connections feel both vital and heartbreakingly temporary.
