Set in the late 1970s, Enea (Damiano Gavino), a film student, and Pietro (Andrea Di Luigi), a medical student, are smitten with each other when they meet in a movie theatre called Nuovo Olimpo, which screens classics and where gay men hook up and make out in its toilets. The gorgeous Luisa Ranieri plays the box-office cashier Titti, who is aware of the goings-on. After a night together in an apartment overlooking the Roman Forum, the two men lose contact. The story unfolds over three decades—as they go on with their lives, they still yearn for each other. Rome provides a beautiful backdrop to this Ferzan Ozpetek film, which tends to meander. (Netflix)
