A family story of love between a mother and her three children.  They are her refuge from loneliness.   Her oldest daughter, Adriana,  prefers to act as a boy.  The movie is a about the internal conflicts and dynamics between parents and children.  It takes place during a 1970’s summer in Rome.  Ultimately, who are the parents and who are the kids?   Penelope Cruz is fantastic.

The film we screen has English subtitles.
