Plot

Rome, 1984, Aria is nine-year-old girl. On the verge of divorce, Aria's infantile and selfish parents are too preoccupied with their careers and extra-marital affairs to properly tend to any of Aria's needs.

Sinekatalog’s take

A neglected nine-year-old girl is tossed between selfish, quarrelling parents in this semi-autobiographical-feeling Roman drama. It mixes cruelty, black comedy and childlike tenderness, often uncomfortably. Raw and messy but moving for those who can take family dysfunction.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
