A tragicomic story of the friendship between Rocco and Angelo. After a failed love life, Rocco returns to his hometown of Saló to see how his friend is doing.
A tragicomic tale of two friends confronting the challenges of contemporary masculinity. Life in progressive Berlin has not brought Rocco happiness in love. He returns to his hometown of Saló on Lake Garda to see whether his childhood friend, Angelo, guided by traditional values, has achieved greater success in love. The story takes unexpected turns, creating a warm and heartfelt film about friendship. While it might seem like another reflection on toxic masculinity, loneliness, and misogyny, Angelo’s sincerity and character break stereotypes, offering a fresh perspective on male relationships.
The film is being presented as part of the project "Cinema as a Laboratory V," co-financed by the Polish-German Cooperation Foundation.
