Silvio Soldini, best known for his multiple award winning BREAD & TULIPS, has stayed with his favorite subject matter – a middle aged couple in crisis.  This is a drama about choices and commitment showing a good marriage during a bad patch.  Well-to-do, sophisticated couple, Elsa and Michele, have a 20 year-old daughter, Alice, and enough money for Elsa to leave her job and fulfill an old dream of studying art history.  After she graduates, however, their lives change.  Michele confesses he hasn't worked in two months and was fired by the company he founded years ago.  Margherita Roy and Antonio Albanese star.
