Ugo is an old actor who feels too young to be in an "old actor's house". He just can't stand the rules of the other old people so he escapes with a young girl.
Sinekatalog’s take
A bittersweet comedy-drama about an old man who feels too lively for his retirement home and runs off with a young woman. It treats ageing with warmth and gentle mischief. A charming choice for fans of humane Italian tragicomedy.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
