La Vacanza

Valerio is 30 and bipolar. His self-destructive life changes when he meets Carla, a senior citizen with early symptoms of Alzheimer's, and spends a summer with her. Unlike Valerio, Carla, a former prosecutor, is full of joie de vivre and animated by an irrepressible will to live. These two become friends and together they find the strength to confront the pains and secrets of their past. This is a journey of two people who are so different and yet so similar, sharing their most painful emotions. Together they experience the end of a summer in which they struggle with the ghosts of their past and the fear of the future, and despite everything, find a new lightness with each other.
